In this paper, the isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) at T = 308.15 K have been measured for liquid binary systems dibromomethane + n-heptane, bromotrichloromethane + n-heptane, bromotrichloromethane + dibromomethane, bromotrichloromethane + bromochloromethane and dibromomethane + bromochloromethane by a dynamic method. The VLE data have been reduced using the Redlich– Kister equation taking into consideration the vapour phase imperfection in terms of 2nd molar virial

coefficients and molar excess Gibbs energies, GEm , have been calculated. The experimental GEm is positive for all systems presenting the greatest value for dibromomethane + n-heptane and a negligible value for dibromomethane + bromochloromethane system. From our experimental data and those reported in the literature, phase and volumetric behaviour of the binary systems containing dibromomethane, bromochloromethane, bromotrichloromethane or n-heptane have been modelled. Two equations of state, EoS, of different formulation have been used obtaining a good agreement for all systems. The mean relative deviations for the studied properties are MRD (P) = 1.57%, AAD (y) = 0.0116 and MRD (r) = 0.55% for Peng–Robinson EoS, and MRD (P) = 1.20%, AAD (y) = 0.0093 and MRD (r) = 0.38% for PC-SAFT EoS. ã 2015 Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction Classical application of polyhaloalkanes as fire extinguisher media has been restricted because their effect on the ozone layer. At present they are used mainly in various industrial processes as many organic synthesis reactions use polyalkanes similar to methane as a reaction media. Dibromomethane is one of the compounds included in the so-called Lombardo’s reagent (Zn/ Br2CH2/TiCl4) used in methylenation of ketones and ketenes [1]; it is also used as solvent of fats and resins. Bromotrichloromethane is used, for example, in chlorination reactions (Appel reactions) as an alternative of carbon tetrachloride given the high toxicity of the latter, in esterification and silylation reactions, and to prepare

Wittig reagents [2–5]. Finally, bromochloromethane is a reactant in the synthesis of biocides and chloromethylesters (N-blocked aminoacids and dipeptides) [6,7]. Also, it has been observed that bromochloromethane is an agent that reduces methane generation: increases the efficiency of the digestive process in ruminants (lower methane generation and greater milk production) [8] and inhibits the production of biogas when it is added to the piggery wastewater [9]. Then taking also into account that systems containing this type of products are not very studied in the literature [10–15] and that polyhalomethanes are used as analogues of methane derivatives with lower toxicity, it is convenient to have models that enable predicting in a simple way their behaviour under different conditions. Following our research on the halogen–halogen interactions, we report here the experimental isothermal vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) at T = 308.15 K for dibromomethane + n-heptane, bromotrichloromethane + n-heptane, bromotrichloromethane +

Moreover, molar excess Gibbs energies, GEm , are calculated by fitting of the experimental P x1 data with the Redlich–Kister equation. This study is completed with our previous results on the VLE of bromochloromethane + n-heptane system [11]. Finally, phase equilibria experimental data from this work along with VLE and volumetric data from literature for pure compounds and mixtures [10–18], are used to modelling the phase and volumetric behaviour of these systems with Peng–Robinson (PR) [19] and PCSAFT [20,21] equations of state.

2. Experimental 2.1. Chemicals The specifications, density and vapour pressure of the chemicals are shown in Table 1. We compare the measured densities and vapour pressures of the products with the literature values. 2.2. Apparatus and procedure vapour–liquid equilibrium data were taken at constant temperature in a flow system as described in Muñoz Embid et al. [25] using a dynamic still designed by Berro et al. [26]. The temperature T inside the equilibrium cell was measured with a precision of 0.01 K by means of a Digitec digital thermometer (Digitec Corp.) Model 5831. The pressure P was measured by means of a Digiquartz Transmitter of Paroscientific Inc., Model 1015A, calibrated in the pressure range 0–100 kPa. The accuracy of the pressure measurements is 0.01%. Liquid and vapour mole fractions, x1 and y1, respectively, were determined by densimetric analysis using an digital density analyser Anton Paar Model DSA-5000M automatically thermostated by built-in solid state thermostat. The uncertainty of the composition measurements was estimated to be 0.0002 mole fraction.
Various modifications of the PR EoS have been proposed in literature with the aim of improving the experimental results [27]: (i) changes in the expression of the temperature-dependent function, a(Tr,v), for polar fluids; (ii) introduction of a volume correction, Dnc, which improves volume predictions without changing the VLE conditions; and (iii) the use of different mixing rules. In this work, we have used volumetric translation for polyhalomethanes and the classic one-parameter van der Waals mixing rule, where kij is the binary interaction parameter: a ¼ Si Sj xi xj aij ; b ¼ Si Sj xi xj bij

3.2. PC-SAFT EoS [20,21] This equation is based on Wertheim’s first order thermodynamic perturbation theory. It establishes a well defined model as fluid reference, hard chain reference system (spherical segments of equal size), and modelling of the actual fluid is performed by adding perturbations to the reference system. Thus, the Helmholtz ~, is written as the sum of the ideal-gas contribution, free energy, a

Generally, cubic equations predict reasonably well the phase behaviour of the binary systems while the correct modelling of the density requires the introduction of a correction factor; however, its simplicity makes them preferred in many engineering applications. For pure compounds, only critical point coordinates (Pc, Tc, Vc) and acentric factor value, v, are required. To mixtures a binary interaction parameter, kij, is introduced. The classical forms

In this model, three parameters are needed for non-polar pure compounds: the segment number, m, the segment diameter, s , and the segment energy parameter, e. Generally, these parameters are obtained from vapour pressures and liquid densities and they

terms of the liquid molar volumes and the molar second virial coefficients calculated by the method of Tsonopoulos [28,29]. In order to check the thermodynamic consistence of the experimental results, the test of Van Ness and Abbott was using [30,31]: the data are consistent if the mean absolute deviation in vapour phase composition is less than 0.01. In this paper, AAD (y) = 0.0017 0.0048, showing them to be thermodynamically consistent. Moreover, the comparison with bibliography data is not possible because the studies of these type of systems in the literature are very scarce. In fact, as far as we know, the only previous experimental results on this type of systems are those of Apelblat et al. [15] corresponding at isobaric VLE (P = 760 mm Hg) of dibromomethane + bromochloromethane system. Figs. 1–3 show the experimental VLE data of the dibromomethane + n-heptane and bromotrichloromethane + n-heptane systems at 308.15 K, this work, and bromochloromethane + nheptane system at 298.15 and 313.15 K [11]. All these systems show an azeotrope (Table 4) although the form of the corresponding VLE is

very different. Thus, it can be seen that the dibromomethane + nheptane system, where vapour pressures for the pure compounds are very similar, presents a phase behaviour far from ideality appearing the azeotropic point near to equimolar composition. Unlike, for x1 > x1,az in the system containing bromochloromethane and for x1 < x1,az in the system with bromotrichloromethane, twophase region is reduced to a line and the mixtures behave like a pure fluid. Particularly interesting is the latter case because of the position of the azeotrope in this system. Furthermore, bromotrichloromethane + n-heptane and bromotrichloromethane + dibromomethane systems show similar phase behaviour between them (Figs. 2 and 4). VLE shape and the azeotropic coordinates (Table 4) are similar although in the haloalkane + haloalkane system a twophase region is observed at x1 < x1,az. The high ideality of bromotrichloromethane + bromochloromethane and dibromomethane + bromochloromethane systems can be seen in Figs. 5 and 6, respectively. Fig. 7a and b shows the molar excess Gibbs energies for the
system, and very small for dibromomethane + bromochloromethane as expected considering the similarity between the molecules involved. Also, bromotrichloromethane + bromochloromethane system present a non-negligible value, 1

, although its phase behaviour is very
close to ideality. The sign of GEm for this system points to an important contribution to the entropic effect in the mixing process. 4.2. Modelling
studied systems. GEm is maximum for dibromomethane + n-heptane
Table 5 shows the parameters used in the PR and PC-SAFT modelling of the studied systems. The critical parameters and the acentric factor for all compounds, and the PC-SAFT parameters for n-heptane pure have been taken from the literature [22,32]. To improve the prediction of the density of the studied systems using PR EoS, a volumetric translation parameter, Dnc, for each polyhalomethane is introduced. They are calculated from the densities of the pure compounds. PC-SAFT parameters of the pure polyhalomethanes have been calculated using saturation pressures

(r) = 0.55%. For PC-SAFT EoS: MRD (P) = 1.20%, AAD (y) = 0.0093 MRD (r) = 0.38%. However, the prediction of the azeotropic coordinates and the molar excess Gibbs energy values using PCSAFT are better than PR EoS. In this work, computations of different properties with PR and PC-SAFT EoS were performed using VLXE software [34].
Table 5 also includes the mean relative deviations, MRD (X), to compare experimental data (vapour pressures and density) and calculated using PC-SAFT EoS of pure compounds. To model our binary systems we have used the classical rules of mixtures. Binary interaction parameters, kij (Table 6), have been calculated by minimizing the above OF, Eq. (9), using this work and literature data [10–14]. A good agreement between experimental data and those calculated with both PR and PC-SAFT EoS for all studied systems is observed (Table 6 and Figs. 1–6). Noted that PC-SAFT EoS predicts well the thermodynamic behaviour of the dibromomethane + bromochloromethane system with a binary interaction parameter kij = 0, which agrees with the high ideality of the system and its molar excess Gibbs energy value. For this system, similar deviations between our experimental data and the isobars data published by Apelblat et al. [15] with those calculated by EoS are observed (Table 6). Therefore we can say that our data seem to be consistent with those of the literature. The mean relative deviations obtained are MRD (P) = 1.57%, AAD (y) = 0.0116 and MRD (r) = 0.55% for Peng–Robinson EoS and MRD (P) = 1.20%, AAD (y) = 0.0093 MRD (r) = 0.38% for PC-SAFT. No trends are observed in deviations of pressure with composition (Figs. 8 and 9). Nevertheless, the azeotropes and molar excess Gibbs energies modelling is better with PC-SAFT EoS especially for halomethane + halomethane systems (Table 4 and Fig. 7a and b).

5. Conclusions The isothermal vapour–liquid equilibria (VLE) at T = 308.15 K have been measured and the molar excess Gibbs energies, GEm , have been calculated for the next binary systems: dibromomethane + nheptane, bromotrichloromethane + n-heptane, bromotrichloromethane + dibromomethane, bromotrichloromethane + bromochloromethane and dibromomethane + bromochloromethane. The study was completed including the bromochloromethane + n-heptane system whose VLE was determined previously by us. All systems containing n-heptane and the bromotrichloromethane + dibromomethane system exhibit azeotrope while the remaining systems present a phase behaviour near ideality. Nevertheless, the GEm values for bromotrichloromethane + bromochloromethane system indicate a significant entropic contribution. Also we performed a comprehensive bibliographic search of vapour–liquid equilibrium and densities of the pure compounds and systems included in this work. From this work and literature experimental data, phase and volumetric behaviour have been modelled. For this, we have used a cubic EoS and other EoS based on perturbation theory obtaining a good agreement for both. For Peng–Robinson EoS, the mean relative deviations for the studied properties are MRD (P) = 1.57%, AAD (y) = 0.0116 and MRD
