Measurements of Bubble Point Pressures for the Binary Mixture of Pentafluoroethane with Chloropentafluoroethane Wei Zhang, Zhi-qiang Yang, Wei Mao, and Jian Lu* Xi’an Modern Chemistry Research Institute, Xi’an, Shaanxi 710065, People’s Republic of China ABSTRACT: Bubble point pressures for the binary mixture of pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) with chloropentafluoroethane (CFC115) were measured at the temperature ranges from (243.15 to 333.15) K using a static apparatus. The uncertainties of measurements were estimated to be less than 20 mK in temperature, 1.2 kPa in pressure, and 0.001 in liquid-phase mole fraction. The experimental data were correlated with the Peng−Robinson equation of state with van der Waals mixing rules. The correlation results have a good agreement with the experimental results. The overall average absolute deviation was 0.36 % between measured pressures and calculated results from the Peng−Robinson (PR) equation of state. The interaction parameter k12 was obtained for different temperatures, and the relationship between k12 and the temperature was correlated with the deviation of ± 0.5 %. The azeotropic compositions and pressures at specified temperatures were calculated.

INTRODUCTION Pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) is an important component in some alternative refrigerants that are promising replacements for HCFC-22.1−3 The fluorination of tetrachloroethene or 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-dichloroethane is the commercial process for manufacture of HFC-125,4−6 and chloropentafluoroethane (CFC-115) is the primary byproduct during this process. Vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of the mixture of CFC115 and HFC-125 are indispensable to design the purification process of HFC-125. However, to our knowledge, the VLE data for binary system of CFC-115 + HFC-125 are not reported as yet. In this work, the bubble point pressures for the binary mixture CFC-115 + HFC-125 were measured at (243.15, 253.15, 263.15, 273.15, 283.15, 293.15, 303.15, 313.5, 323.5, and 333.15) K. The experimental data were correlated with the Peng−Robinson equation of state (PR EOS) with van der Waals one-fluid mixing rules.7−10 The azeotropic compositions and pressures at specified temperatures were calculated.

differential pressure transducer (Xi’an Instrument, China; 1151DP) and an absolute pressure sensor (GE, PMP4051). The data were recorded using an Agilent 34970A acquisition/ switch unit and a personal computer. The total uncertainties of measurements were estimated less than ± 20 mK for temperature and ± 1.2 kPa for pressure at a confidence level of approximately 95 % (k = 2). The mass of each component introduced into the cell was determined with a digital balance (Sartorius Inc., BSA423S) having an accuracy of 0.001 g. The sample cell with a volume of 53.275 mL was used in this work. The sample cell was initially charged with the binary mixtures at a temperature of 243.15 K. About 30 g of CFC-115 and HFC-125 were added into the sample cell, and less than 15 mg of sample was lost in the pipes of the mixing apparatus during this process. Therefore, the absolute deviation of mass fraction was below 0.05 % for one component. The compositions of the liquid phase were calculated from the total composition by correction for the mass of each component existing in the vapor phase.12 The densities of the both phases were estimated by using the Peng− Robinson (PR) equation of state with van der Waals mixing rules without binary interaction parameter. The estimated

Figure 2 gives the bubble and dew point pressures estimated from the PR EOS for the binary mixtures of CFC-115 (1) + HFC-125 (2) at different temperatures against the compositions of CFC-115. Figure 3 shows the relative deviation from PR EOS. From Table 4 and Figures 2 and 3, it can be seen that the calculated values of PR EOS were consistent with the experimental data. The relative deviations were within ± 1 % between the experimental and calculated values for pressures, and the average absolute deviations were less than 0.5 % at temperatures from (243.15 to 333.15) K. The overall average absolute deviation of pressure was 0.36 %. The interaction parameters k12 increases as the temperature T increases, and the relationship between k12 and 1/T is approximately linear as shown in Figure 4. It was fitted by the following expression: k12 = 0.720 − 23.212/(T /K)

(10)

where T is the temperature. The relative deviation from the correlated values of k12 was less than ± 0.5 % at temperature from (243.15 to 333.15) K. When the PR EOS was calculated in the whole composition range with k12, it can be found that the binary system of CFC115 (1) + HFC-125 (2) had the azeotropic point. Table 5 displays the azeotropic compositions and pressures at specified temperatures from the calculated data. Figures 5 and 6 show the variation of the azeotropic compositions and pressures for the CFC-115 + HFC-125 binary mixtures, respectively. Azeotropic data of this mixture determined in the temperature of (243.15 to 333.15) K were 0.0661 to 0.2002 mole fraction of
