HIS investigation is one of a series of vapor-liquid equilibrium studies of the oxidized hydrocarbons resulting from eatalytic oxidation processes. Design of separation equipment requires a knowledge of these characteristics. MATERIALS

.

The three compounds used in this study were purified in a 5foot glass distillation column 3 / 4 inch in diameter, packed with glass helices. I n each case, both ends of the original charge were discarded and the middle fraction was retained until the desired purity was obtained. Purity was determined by boiling point and refractive index. The refractive index was determined at 20’ C. with a Bausch and Lomb refractometer. The boiling points were determined in a Cottrell boiling point apparatus. The total pressure was maintained a t 760 mm. of mercury by the use of air pressure. The comparison of properties of the compounds is presented in Table I, together with values from the literature.

Neither of the systems formed azeotropes, although both systems showed azeotropic tendencies. The experimental activity coefficients were calculated for each system and are plotted against the mole per cent 2-propanol. These data are presented in tabular form in Tables I1 and I11 and graphically in Figure 3. Vapor pressure data from the literature (&, 9) were used in the calculations. Plots of the activity coefficients vs. mole 2-propanol indicate that both systems deviate from the ideal solution law. The deviations are positive

APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE

A modified Colburn still (6) was used for the vapor-liquid equilibrium determinations. The apparatus and procedures have been described (1,S, 4 ) . RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

Vapor-liquid equilibrium data are presented for the binary eystems 2-propanol (iaopropano1)-methyl propyl ketone and 2propanol-methyl isobutyl ketone. The experimental data are given in tabular form in Tables I1 and I11 and graphically in Figures 1 and 2. The equilibrium compositions are reported t o the nearest 0.05 mole % and the temperatures to the nearest 0.1” F. The estimated limit of error of the experimental determinations is about 1%. Both the experimental vapor-liquid curves and the experimental temperature-composition curves are given. 1

and apparently increase with the molecular weight of the ketone present in the binary system. Experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium data are presented rather than the data smoothed by use of the conventional thermodynamic consistency equations. The Gibbs-Duhem equation, the basis for the various methods of testing thermodynamic consistency, inherently assumes isothermal as well as isobaric data. The isothermal requirement is not met with these data, as the boiling ranges are 36” and 61.6’ F. for the two binaries. Heat .of solution data are not available and no direct relationship has been established for variation of activity coefficient with temperature.

Random experimental errors are considered to be very small in these data because the experimental points fall upon smooth curves, in the case of both temperature-composition and vapor composition-liquid composition curves.
