ABSTRACT Isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data were measured for the binary acetonitrile-isobutanol and ternary acetonitrile-isobutanol-benzene systems at 60 o C by using a vapour-recirculating equilibrium still. The experimental data were correlated by the extended UNIQUAC and UNIQUAC associated-solution models. The UNIQUAC associated-solution model gives better predicted values for the ternary system.

INTRODUCTION
The thermodynamic properties of solutions of butanols in acetonitrile and a hydrocarbon are currently the subject of studies in this laboratory. Vapour-liquid equilibria (VLE) for the system l-butanol-aceto~trile-benzene at 60°C [I] and liquid-liquid equilibria for the system acetonitrile-lbutanol-saturated hydrocarbon at 25 OC [2] have been reported. This paper reports VLE data for the binary system acetonitrile-isobutanol and the ternary system acetonitrile-isobutanol-benzene at 60 * C and their correlation by the extended UNIQUAC [3] and UNIQUAC associated-solution model [4].
EXPERIMENTAL
Acetonitrile and isobutanol (Nakarai Pure Chemical Industries Ltd.. analytical reagent grade) were used svithout further purification. C.P. benzene was purified by repeated rec~stall~ation. Some physical properties of the chemicals used for experimental work agree closely with values reported in the literature as shown in Table 1. For measurements of these properties.

an Anton Paar densimeter (DMA40) and a Shimadzu Pulfrich refractometer were used. Vapour pressures were measured at 60°C with a Boublik vapour-recirculating equilibrium still, the details and operational procedure of which were described in ref. 7. Binary compositions of the liquid-phase and vapour-phase solutions were determined from their refractive index measurements at 25 * C. Ternary compositions of both sample mixtures were analyzed with a gas c~omatograph (Shimadzu GC-8A) connected to an electronic integrator (Shimadzu Chromatopac E-IA). The experimental errors involved in the measured variables were 0.16 torr for pressure, 0.05”C for temperature and 0.002 mole fraction for liquid and vapour compositions, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The VLE data at 60 OC for the binary system aceto~trile-isobutanol and the ternary system acetonitrile-isobutanol-benzene are reported in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.

dard de~ations for the measured variables were u, = 1 torr for pressure, oz. = 0.05 K for temperature, a, = 0.001 for liquid-phase mole fraction and ur = 0.003 for vapour-phase mole fraction. The equilibrium constants at 50°C and the enthalpies of association and solvation are as follows: KB = 50.6 [14] and ha = -23.2 kJ mol-l [15] for isobutanol; K, = 30 and h,, = - 17 kJ mol-’ for isobutanol-acetonit~le; KBc = 2.5 and h,, = - 8.3 kJ mol-l for isobutano~-benzene. ha, ha, and h,, were assumed to be independent of temperature and fix the temperature-dependence of the equilibrium constants according to the van? Hoff relation. The results of the parameter estimation for the three binary systems are shown in Table 5. Figure 1 compares the calculated values with the measured results for the acetonitrile-isobutanol and isobutanol-benzene systems. Table 6 presents ternary predicted results, indicating that the UN-
