ABSTRACT Yamamoto, H., Ohgaki, K. and Katayama, T., 1989. Isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data of the benzene-propylene system at 25 o C. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 46: 53-58. The vapour-liquid equilibria ( p - x - y relation) and the liquid molar volumes (Vlm-X relation) of the benzene-propylene system were measured at 25 o C using a swing method and a weighing method, respectively. The equilibrium properties (p-x-y-Vim relation) are correlated very well by the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state with a binary parameter (k U = 0.0157).

INTRODUCTION Phase equilibrium properties at elevated pressures are essential not only in practical problems b u t also in thermodynamic studies on equations of state. It would be interesting to investigate the applicability of an equation of state to p - x - y relations and volumetric properties simultaneously. In the present study, isothermal v a p o u r - l i q u i d equilibria ( p - x - y relation) and saturated molar volumes ( V ~ - x relation) of the b e n z e n e - p r o pylene system were measured at 25 ° C b y means of a swing method and a weighing method (Ohgaki et al., 1988), respectively. N o equilibrium properties of the system have been reported in the literature. The S o a v e - R e d l i c h K w o n g (SRK) equation of state (Soave, 1972) was used to correlate the experimental p-Vlm-X-y data and fugacity coefficients. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS As the experimental apparatus and procedure used in this study are essentially the same as described in a previous paper (Ohgaki et al., 1988), the details are not mentioned here. 0378-3812/89/$03.50

54 The phase equilibria ( p - x - y relation) were measured by means of a static method, the so-called swing method. The apparatus had two equilibrium cells. Both the vapour and liquid phases of each cell were connected by flexible tubes. The liquid contents of the cell were "swung" from one cell to another through the flexible tube as one of the cells was moved up and down. A small amount of sample of each phase, which was drawn out from a sampling port in the flexible tube without disturbing the phase equilibrium, was expanded in a Pyrex flask. The composition of each sample was analysed using gas chromatography. Another apparatus, using the weighing method, was used for measuring the saturated molar volume of the liquid phase (Vl-x relation). The cell volume having a small pressure dependence was calibrated utilizing pure saturated benzene and propylene, the properties of which are available in the literature (Angus et al., 1976; Reid et al., 1977). The equilibrium pressure was measured using a quartz-Bourdon gauge calibrated against an air piston gauge with an accuracy of 100 Pa. The equilibrium temperature was measured by a platinum wire resistance thermometer bridge within an accuracy of _ 0.01 ° C.

Materials The propylene used in this study was specially supplied by Sumitomo Chem. Co., Ltd., and had a specified minimum purity of 99.96 mol.%. The benzene, obtained from the Merk Co., was Spectro-grade with a specified minimum purity of 99.7 mol.%. Both chemicals were used without further purification. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The saturated molar volumes of the liquid phase are listed in Table 1 and shown in Fig. 1. The Vlm--X curve has a minimum where the mole fraction of propylene is about 0.8. Such behaviour has not been observed in four other systems containing propylene (Ohgaki et al, 1988). The Vtm--X data were correlated using the Redlich-Kister-type equation presented in Table 1. Vapour-liquid equilibrium data are shown in Fig. 2. As the mole fraction of propylene in the vapour phase is nearly equal to 1.0, the Lewis rule can apply to the propylene in the vapour phase. The fugacity coefficients of propylene in each phase are Ot = @~*

The partial molar volumes in eqns. (3) and (4) were calculated from the differentiation of the Redlich-Kister-type equation for the V l - x data. The p - x - y data and the fugacity coefficients obtained are presented in Table 2. The SRK equation was applied to the p - x - y data obtained by using a binary parameter, kij. The parameters f~a and fib in the SRK equation were evaluated from the saturated pressure and liquid density data for each component (flal = 0.3933, ~ b l = 0.07881, f~2 = 0.40736 and f~b2= 0.08117). The critical properties and acentric factor of each substance were obtained from the "Property Data Bank" (Reid et al., 1977). As Fig. 2 shows, the p - x - y relation is satisfactorily correlated with the value of k u = 0.0157. The fugacity coefficients of both components evaluated from eqns. (1)-(5) are also compared in Fig. 3 with those of the SRK equation (kij = 0.0157). Furthermore, the Vtm--Xrelation is expressed very well by the SRK equation (kij 0.0157), except for the minimum value of V~ as shown in Fig. 1. However, two different values of k~j must be introduced in the correlations =
