1 Introduction Esters play an important role in biochemical and chemical engineering. Applications of esters range from bulk chemicals to polymers and fine chemicals. For instance, dimethyl maleate and diethyl maleate are used as intermediates for the production of plastics. Since benzyl alkanoates (e.g., benzyl ethanoate, benzyl propanaote, and benzyl butanoate) are naturally occurring esters with a fruity odor, they are used as fragrances in cosmetic products. Ethyl alkanoates are broadly applied as biodiesel components 1. Due to these applications, the knowledge of their individual volatility is crucial. Furthermore, esters such as the fragrance benzyl ethanoate often occur in natural or synthetic mixtures 2, 3. For example, benzyl ethanoate is applied as fragrance in, e.g., oily creams and liquid perfumes. Hence, the knowledge of thermodynamic properties of such mixtures, especially mutual solubilities, is also indispensable. Methods for the measurement of thermodynamic properties such as vapor pressures and mutual solubilities are readily available. However, such methods are mostly time-consuming and cost-intensive, which do neither allow for an efficient screening of esters with desired properties nor for process optimization of polymerization processes. Especially the latter might be conducted under high pressure. Predictive thermodynamic models are desirable that allow both characterizing pure esters and screening properties of mixtures comprising esters. Such models should enable the description of pure-component and mixture properties over a wide range of temperature and pressure, and only equations of state (EOSs) are meaningful for this task. Since its development in the late 1980s, the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (SAFT) 4 and further derivations of SAFT have been applied and have been proven among the most appropriate models fulfilling the specified requirements. Two promising SAFT-based EOSs are the Perturbed-Chain SAFT (PC-SAFT) 5, 6 and the group-contribution EOS SAFT-γ Mie 7, 8. Both have already successfully been applied for modeling esters and mixtures comprising esters. Recently, Haarmann et al. 9 modeled purecomponent vapor pressures and liquid densities of methyl alkanoates and ethyl alkanoates applying two approaches within the PC-SAFT framework. Further, the use of PC-SAFT for the description of molar excess properties of binary mixtures methyl alkanoates + n-alkane as well as mutual solubilities in binary mixtures methyl alkanoates + water were investigated 9. Overall, very promising results could be achieved. Moreover, esters were modeled using PC-SAFT in various other previous works 10-16. Also, SAFT-γ Mie was applied to represent pure-component properties such as vapor pressures and various properties of binary mixtures for a broad range of esters 7, 8. In this work, PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie were used to model pure-component properties of 14 esters in a first step. The pure-component vapor pressures of these esters were required and were thus measured in this work using the transpiration method to have a new reliable data basis for the esters under study. Based on these results, properties of binary mixtures comprising esters were considered. In general, molar excess enthalpies and liquid-liquid equilibria are among the most sensitive properties. Thus, molar excess enthalpies of the binary mixtures benzyl ethanoate + n-alkane and the liquid-liquid equilibria of three binary mixtures ester (benzyl ethanoate, dimethyl maleate, diethyl maleate) + water were used to validate both models.

2 Experiments The vapor pressures of all esters were determined using the method of transpiration in a saturated N2-stream 17-20. After mixing about 0.5 𝑔 of a sample with glass beads, it was placed into a thermostated U-shaped tube with a length of 20 𝑐𝑚 and a diameter of 0.5 𝑐𝑚. To reach a phase equilibration, glass beads with a diameter of 1 𝑚𝑚 are suitable as they provide sufficient surface. At constant temperature (± 0.1 K), a nitrogen stream was passed through the U-shaped saturator and the transported amount of vaporous material was collected in a cooling trap. Measuring the flow rate of the nitrogen stream using a soap-bubble flow meter, it was optimized to reach the saturation equilibrium of the transporting gas at each temperature under study. The amount of condensed sample was determined by gas chromatography using an appropriate n-alkane as an external standard. The vapor pressure 𝑝𝐿𝑉 at each temperature 𝑇 was calculated from the amount of the product collected within a definite time: 𝑚𝑅𝑇

𝑝𝐿𝑉 = 𝑉𝑀𝑤 with 𝑉 =

(𝑛𝑁2 + 𝑛)𝑅𝑇𝑎

(1)

𝑝𝑎

where 𝑚 is the mass of the investigated compound, 𝑅 is the universal gas constant, V is the volume of the vapor phase consisting of 𝑛𝑁2 moles of the carrier gas and 𝑛 moles of the vaporous compound under study at the atmospheric pressure 𝑝𝑎 and the ambient temperature 𝑇𝑎. While the N2 gas flowrate was measured with a HP soap-film flow meter (model 01010113), the amount of the carrier gas 𝑛𝑁2 was determined from the flow rate and the time measurement. For each temperature, the amount 𝑛 of the compound in the carrier gas was estimated applying the ideal gas law. Before the vapor-pressure measurements, the sample was pre-conditioned at 293-300 K (2 hours) in order to withdraw possible water traces. Afterwards, the saturator was kept at 320 K to remove possible traces of volatile compounds. In order to guarantee the completion of the pre-conditioning, three samples were taken consequently in the course of the sample flushing and analyzed by gas chromatography. If the vapor pressure at this temperature was constant, the transpiration experiments were conducted. No additional impurities were detected by the gas-chromatography analysis of the transported material. The absence of impurities and decomposition products was rechecked by gas-chromatography analysis of the saturator content after completing the whole series of experiments. 3 Theoretical background Here, the calculation of phase equilibria and molar excess enthalpies will be explained. Moreover, the two EOSs PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie will briefly be described. 3.1 Calculation of phase equilibria and molar excess enthalpies Both the vapor-liquid equilibria of pure components and the liquid-liquid equilibria of binary mixtures were obtained applying the isofugacity criteria between two phases I and II: 𝐼𝐼 𝐼𝐼 𝐼𝐼 𝑥𝐼𝑖𝜑𝐼𝑖(𝑇,𝜌𝐼,𝑥𝐼𝑖) = 𝑥𝐼𝐼 𝑖 𝜑𝑖 (𝑇,𝜌 ,𝑥𝑖 )

The segments interact via a modified square-well potential, which is expressed by the dispersion energy 𝑢𝑖. In the case of associating compounds, e.g., water, two additional parameters, namely the association energy 𝜀𝐴𝑖𝐵𝑖 and the association volume 𝜅𝐴𝑖𝐵𝑖, are considered in order to describe associative 4

where the hard-chain contribution 𝑎ℎ𝑐 represents the hard-chain reference system in PC-SAFT. This reference system is disturbed by the perturbative energy contributions caused by dispersive (𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝) and associative (𝑎𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑐) interactions.

For a binary mixture of component i and component j, the unlike dispersion energy 𝑢𝑖𝑗 is obtained applying the Berthelot-Lorenz combining rule as: 𝑢𝑖𝑗 = 𝑢𝑖𝑢𝑗(1 ― 𝑘𝑖𝑗)

where 𝑘𝑖𝑗 is a binary interaction parameter for the dispersion energy. For the binary mixtures benzyl ethanoate + n-alkane, 𝑘𝑖𝑗 was adjusted to the experimental molar-excess-enthalpy data and set to 𝑘𝑖𝑗 = 0.037 for all considered n-alkanes. 3.3 SAFT-γ Mie Within SAFT-γ Mie 7, 8, molecules are described by subdividing them into distinct functional groups which represent the various chemical moieties. The chemical functional groups are modeled as spherical segments of different diameters 𝜎𝑘. These are assumed to interact via Mie potentials characterized by a repulsive (𝜆𝑟𝑘) and an attractive (𝜆𝑎𝑘) exponent and the dispersion energy 𝜀𝑘. It should also be noted that a functional group can be formed of a number of 𝜈𝑘∗ identical segments. Moreover, each segment is geometrically characterized by the shape factor 𝑆𝑘. Additionally, acceptor (𝑛𝑘,𝐻) and donor (𝑛𝑘,𝑒1) sites may be mounted onto a group in order to mimic association sites. The SAFT-γ Mie group parameters used in this work were taken from the literature 7, 8 and are given in Table 3. Table 3: SAFT-γ Mie group parameters used within this work 7, 8. group k

The experimental pure-component data were modeled using PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie. Furthermore, the molar excess enthalpies of the binary mixtures benzyl ethanoate + n-alkane and the liquid-liquid equilibria of three binary mixtures ester (benzyl ethanoate, dimethyl maleate, diethyl maleate) + water were modeled with both EOSs. 4.1 Pure-component vapor pressures and liquid densities The pure-component vapor pressures of 14 esters were measured applying the transpiration method (cf. chapter 2). While the experimental vapor-pressure data of dimethyl fumarate, dimethyl maleate, diethyl maleate, benzyl ethanoate, benzyl propanoate, and benzyl butanoate are given in Table 6, those of eight representatives of the homologous series of ethyl alkanoates are listed in Table 7. The corresponding enthalpies of vaporization ∆ℎ𝐿𝑉 can be found in SI. For some esters, other experimental vapor-pressure data are available in the literature as can be seen from Table 8 and the experimental vapor-pressure data of benzyl 7

ethanoate depicted in Figure 1(a). The new data obtained in this work were found to be consistent with experimental vapor-pressure data from the literature. For the first time, experimental data were measured at temperatures close to ambient temperatures. For this reason, a comparison with (mostly) ebulliometric results available in the literature for elevated temperatures is hardly possible.

In this work, the vapor pressures and the corresponding liquid densities of all 14 esters under study were modeled using PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie. Although the esters investigated in this work show moderate dipole moments, no polar interactions were taken into account within PC-SAFT since SAFT-γ Mie does not incorporate an explicit dipole contribution 7, 8. For the pure-component vapor pressure and liquid density of benzyl ethanoate, very good agreement between the modeling results of PC-SAFT and the experimental data can be observed in Figure 1 and from the %ARDs in Table 8. This can mainly be attributed to the fact, that the PC-SAFT pure-component parameters were adjusted to the respective experimental pure-component vapor-pressure data and saturated-liquid-density data. Considering the fact that the modeling results of SAFT-γ Mie are predictions, the agreement with the experimental data is still very satisfying. 800 700

1 2 3 can be seen that the modeling results obtained with PC-SAFT are in quantitative agreement 4 with the experimental data [Figure 2(a); Table 8]. The full predictions of SAFT-γ Mie slightly 5 underestimate the vapor pressures of the ethyl alkanoates leading to higher %ARDs. 6 7 8 While the PC-SAFT pure-component parameters of all esters were adjusted to the pure9 component vapor-pressure data and liquid-density data of the respective esters, the 10 SAFT-γ Mie parameters were not fitted to the data shown. Hence, very low %ARDs can be 11 12 observed for the PC-SAFT modeling results given in Table 8, whereas the predictive results 13 of SAFT-γ Mie show overall higher %ARDs. 14 15 Table 8: %ARDs for the PC-SAFT (PC) and SAFT-γ Mie (Mie) modeling results of pure-component vapor 16 pressures and liquid densities of esters.

The experimental data in Figure 3 show 45 46 an increase of the molar excess enthalpy and a shift of the maximal value with respect to the 47 molar composition with increasing chain length of the n-alkane 9. Applying one binary 48 interaction parameter 𝑘𝑖𝑗 = 0.037 for all considered mixtures independent of the chain length 49 50 of the n-alkane, PC-SAFT qualitatively represents both experimental findings [Figure 3(a)]. 51 While the increase of the molar excess enthalpy with increasing chain length of the n-alkane 52 is in good agreement with the experimental data, the shift of the maximal value of the molar 53 54 excess enthalpy is overestimated for increasing chain length of the n-alkane. This leads to 55 higher deviations to the experimental data as can also be seen from the increasing %ARDs in 56 Table 9. This also holds for the predictions of SAFT-γ Mie [Figure 3(b); Table 9]. 57 58 Furthermore, SAFT-γ Mie predicts an increase of the molar excess enthalpy with increasing 59 chain length of the n-alkane. However, SAFT-γ Mie overestimates the molar excess 60

Furthermore, the liquid-liquid equilibrium of the binary mixture benzyl ethanoate + water was modeled using both PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie. The phase behavior is shown in Figure 4. The mixture exhibits a very unsymmetrical miscibility gap, i.e. a virtual insolubility of benzyl ethanoate in the aqueous phase but a much higher solubility of water in the organic phase. Both PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie predict a very broad miscibility gap and a much lower solubility of benzyl ethanoate in the aqueous phase than vice versa. Further, Figure 4 illustrates that the experimentally observed low mutual solubilities increase with increasing temperature, which can be represented applying both EOSs. Using PC-SAFT, a 2B association scheme was applied for water as it was found to be superior to a 4C association scheme regarding the binary mixtures ester + water 9. While no binary interaction parameter 𝑘𝑖𝑗 was used, the induced association between the ester and water was explicitly taken into 12

account for PC-SAFT 37. Applying this approach, PC-SAFT yields slightly underpredicted mutual solubilities. Considering the predictive character of this approach, this modeling result is very satisfying. In contrast, SAFT-γ Mie underpredicts the mutual solubilities in both phases leading to a broader miscibility gab compared to the experimental data. It should be emphasized that no association is taken into account between the COO group and water according to the original version of SAFT-γ Mie.

Figure 4: Liquid-liquid equilibrium of the binary mixture benzyl ethanoate + water at pressure 𝑝 = 1.013 bar. The symbols represent the experimental data from reference 38. The predictions of PC-SAFT (𝑘𝑖𝑗 = 0) and SAFT-γ Mie are shown as solid and dashed lines, respectively.

5 Conclusions In this work, new experimental vapor-pressure data of 14 esters were measured applying the transpiration method. The new experimental data were found to be consistent with partially available literature data. The two EOSs PC-SAFT and SAFT-γ Mie were applied to model the pure-component vapor pressures and liquid densities of all esters under study. In general, good agreement between modeling results and experimental data was obtained using both EOSs. While PC-SAFT relies on experimental pure-component data to adjust the model parameters for each compound, the group-contribution character of SAFT-γ Mie allows for a predictive description of vapor pressures and liquid densities. Based on the overall satisfying modeling of pure-component properties, binary mixtures were considered with the focus on modeling the molar excess enthalpies of the binary mixtures benzyl ethanoate + n-alkane and the liquid-liquid equilibrium of the binary mixture benzyl ethanoate + water. Both EOSs require binary interaction parameters. While PC-SAFT makes use of mixture-dependent binary interaction parameters, those of SAFT-γ Mie are group-specific and independent of the mixture.
