Determination of the Critical Properties of C6−C10 n‑Alkanes and Their Binary Systems Using a Flow Apparatus Yang Liu, Ying Zhang, Mao-gang He,* and Nan Xin Key Laboratory of Thermo-Fluid Science and Engineering, Ministry of Education, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province 710049, P. R. China ABSTRACT: A flow apparatus was established to measure the critical properties of pure components and mixtures. The critical points are visually determined by observing the critical opalescence. The measurement can be carried out up to 10 MPa for pressure and 773 K for temperature. Critical temperatures (Tc) and critical pressures (pc) of pure compounds (hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane) and their binary mixtures were measured. Experimental data for hexane + heptane, hexane + octane, hexane + decane, heptane + octane, and heptane +decane are available in the open literature and compare well with our data. On the other hand, the critical properties of hexane + nonane, heptane + nonane, octane + nonane, octane + decane, and nonane + decane systems were presented for the first time in this paper. All the experimental data are correlated by the Redlich− Kister equation.

1. INTRODUCTION Critical properties of pure substances and mixtures are important design and characterization parameters for both practical and theoretical research. These properties provide the boundary conditions for the supercritical region in which supercritical fluid extraction can be performed. The locus of critical points tells phase change boundaries for mixtures, which is also one of the bases for the binary phase diagrams proposed by Scott and van Konynenburg.1 In addition, critical properties would be commonly used in calculating pvT properties, transport properties, and the prediction of thermodynamic property based on the corresponding states principle. In order to improve the accuracy of prediction and extend the range of applicability of predictive equations of state, experimental data for critical points of mixtures are necessary. C6−C10 normal alkanes are the main components of fuel, which are widely used in power machines, for example, internal engine and aviation aircraft. They are also the fundamental materials in chemical engineering. The critical parameters of them and their mixtures are necessary to be known. The common experimental techniques for measuring critical parameters include sealed tube methods, open tube methods, flow methods, spontaneous boiling methods, and pvT methods.2 For most organic substances the visual method is usually the best technique to measure the critical temperature.3 The flow method4−9 is widely used to measure critical parameters of pure compounds and mixtures, for the critical temperature and critical pressure can be measured at the same time. In this work, a flow viewtype apparatus was built. The critical temperatures and critical pressures of five pure compounds: hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane were measured and compared with literature databases. Moreover, the critical properties of the ten binary systems: hexane + heptane, hexane + octane, hexane + nonane, © 2014 American Chemical Society

hexane + decane, heptane + octane, heptane + nonane, heptane + decane, octane + nonane, octane + decane, and nonane + decane were also experimentally determined. The pure alkanes and their mixtures measured in this work are all thermally stable.

2.2. Measurement Method and Equipment. The low residence time flow method was used to measure the critical properties. The sample was pumped rapidly through a view cell at a temperature, pressure, and flow rate which results in critical opalescence and meniscus disappearance in the observation chamber of the cell. Thermal decomposition or reaction was minimized because the residence time of the fluid at high temperatures was kept low.

The experimental apparatus established in this study is shown in Figure 1. The measurement can be carried out up to 10 MPa for pressure and 773 K for temperature. Compared to the conventional apparatus presented by Rosenthal and Teja,4 a novel experimental cell was developed as shown in Figure 2;

and the system was evacuated by a vacuum pump. At the beginning of critical point measurement, the experimental cell temperature was set higher than the estimated critical temperature. The degassed sample was pumped into the system, entering the bottom of the tube and exiting through the top. As the sample was pumped through the system, it was seen to flash to vapor inside the tube. When the pressure increased, this effect was no longer visible. When the temperature was close to the critical point, the gas−liquid meniscus became faint and eventually vanished at the critical point. During this process, the critical opalescence could be observed. After the critical point was exceeded, the critical opalescence disappeared, and only one transparent phase was left. Then, the cell was cooled slowly. With the temperature decreased to the critical value, the critical opalescence reappeared; the color went from colorless to yellow, to red-yellow, and to black. Then the gas−liquid meniscus reappeared, and two phases formed. At the points the meniscus disappeared and reappeared, the system was assumed to reach the critical points. Care was taken to adjust the position of the meniscus. When the critical opalescence steadily appeared near the end of the PRT, the temperature measured by the PRT was assumed to be the critical temperature, and the pressure was noted as well. The critical point of the material was visually observed at three or four flow rates. For each measurement, the whole process was repeated at least three times, and the average values were taken as the experimental data. After every measurement, the system was purged with nitrogen. In the work, the binary mixtures were all measured over the whole range of concentration. 2.4. Assessment of Experimental Uncertainties. The expanded uncertainties in critical temperature and critical pressure can be given by10

a quartz glass tube is adopted instead of the conventional sight glass, which is more effective for heating the sample uniformly. Moreover, a temperature sensor can be installed into the tube directly, and the front end of the temperature sensor will be in the critical phenomena region, which can improve the measuring accuracy of the critical temperature. The heaters were cast into the thermal insulation layer which was made of silica fiber particles, so the heating uniformity would be improved further. The instrument of the experimental system mainly included a temperature sensor (Fluke 5608-12 PRT, measurement uncertainty: ± 0.02 K), pressure transmitter (Rosemount 3051S; 0−10 MPa, accuracy: ± 0.025%), digital multimeter (Keithley 2002), dual piston pump (LabAlliance 1500, flow control: 0.001 mL/min), temperature controller (Shimaden FP23, PID: 0.1), and electronic balance (Mettler Toledo ME204, 0.1 mg). 2.3. Experimental Procedure. The critical properties for pure substances and binary mixtures were determined by visual observation. Before the measurement, the sample was degassed

where ui is the uncertainty of each influencing factor, uc is the combined standard uncertainty composed by each uncertainty of influencing factor, and k is the confidence coefficient which is usually taken to be 2 or 3. When k = 2, the degree of confidence is 95%; when k = 3, the degree of confidence is 99%. In this study, the confidence coefficient of the compound uncertainty is taken to be 2. 3853

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION To verify the reliability of the experimental system, the critical properties of pure hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane were measured and compared with DIPPR11 and NIST12 databases. The comparison results are listed in Table 3. Our experimental data agree well with those in literature. The deviations between our data and DIPPR for temperatures and pressures are within ± 0.2 K and ± 0.012 MPa, respectively. All our data are in the range for the values of critical points which NIST database gives. The critical temperatures and critical pressures of hexane + heptane, hexane + octane, heptane + octane, hexane + decane, and heptane + decane binary mixtures were measured and compared with the experimental data in refs 9, 13, and 14 which

4. CONCLUSION As presented in this work, our new apparatus is capable of measuring the critical properties of pure and multicomponent systems. The capacity of the apparatus was studied for the measurement of critical points of pure n-alkanes (hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane) and critical properties of their binary mixtures. The experimental results of the systems (hexane + heptane, hexane + octane, heptane + octane, hexane + decane, and heptane + decane) show good agreement with the literature data. The experimental critical temperatures and critical pressures of the five binary systems, hexane + nonane, heptane + nonane, octane + nonane, octane + decane, and nonane + decane, were measured for the first time. All the experimental values were correlated by the classical Redlich−Kister equation. The maximum average absolute deviations were 0.11 % for critical temperature and 0.28 % for critical pressure.
