ABSTRACT Ksiqkczak, A. and Kosihski, J.J., 1990. Liquid-liquid equilibrium in binary polar aromatic+ hydrocarbon systems. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 59: 291-308. The liquid-liquid coexistence curves for the systems: 4-chlorophenol+ hexadecane, 2methoxyphenol + hexadecane and phenol + hexadecane have been determined by measuring the temperature of disappearance of turbulence. The literature and our data have been represented on the basis of the scaling theory: The analysis of the critical point indicates that the mean value of the mean association number of phenol in various hydrocarbons is equal to 3.11, confirming that the privileged structure of phenol associates is a trimer. The mean value of the mean association number, X, of polar compounds not forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds in various hydrocarbons is equal to 2.06 and confirms that the privileged structure of associates is a dimer. The obtained outcomes bear out previous results of the analyses of solid-liquid and solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data for the same or similar systems. The prediction of the liquid-liquid equilibrium critical point composition has been proposed on the basis of the previously determined relationships between the association and the structure of polar aromatic compounds.

INTRODUCTION

In a previous paper (Ksi$czak, 1983) a mechanism of dissolution of polar compounds in hydrocarbons has been proposed. The dissolution process consists of transferring the associates existing in the solid phase into the solution. The ideal solubility related to a X-mer existing in the solid phase was called the pseudoideal solubility. Solubility data of various binary systems can be represented by the pseudoideal solubility equation on the basis of X-ray studies of solid solutes. A saturated solution can be treated as a pseudobinary mixture consisting of X-mers and solvent molecules, where X is the mean association number of the solute. In a more recent paper (Ksi$xzak and Kosifrski, 1988a) it was 0378-3812/90/$03.50

demonstrated that as the number of adjustable parameters increases, the equation becomes more flexible, but the fitted values of parameters frequently lose the physical meaning attributed to them and cannot be used to predict other properties of the investigated system. The regular solution theory (Hildebrand and Scott, 1950) has been used to describe the nonspecific interactions in the pseudobinary solution considering the minimal number of adjustable parameters, i.e. only one parameter. The resulting solubility equation has been used to represent the solid-liquid equilibrium (Ksi@czak, 1986a, b) and the vapour pressure of the solvent along the solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium line (Ksi+zak and Kosihski, 1988a, b) . The obtained values of the mean association number, h, were consistent with the association number of the associated species detected in the solid phases of the solute. Aromatic carboxylic acids exist in the solid phase mainly as cyclic dimers (Pimentel and McClellan, 1960). The mean association number in saturated solution of carboxylic acids is close to 2, which is in agreement with the dissolution model. The mean association number of phenols with a small steric hindrance around the hydroxyl group is close to 3 in saturated solutions and is consistent with the existence of trimers in the metastable solid phase. Para-substituted phenols such as 4-chlorophenol or 4-methylphenol consist of tetramers in the solid phase. The mean association number of 4-chlorophenol in solutions with saturated alkanes, calculated from the solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data, is close to 4 (Ksi@czak, 1986a). An increase of steric hindrance around the hydroxyl group decreases the ability of phenols to form higher associates. The mean association number of 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, calculated from the solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data (Ksi$czak and Kosihski, 1988a, b), is close to 2, which suggests the existence of dimers in the saturated solution. A large steric hindrance around the hydroxyl group precludes the formation of hydrogenbonded associates. The analysis of solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol + hydrocarbon systems (Ksi@czak and Kosihski, 1988b) demonstrates that this phenol does not associate. Similar results have been obtained from isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data analysis for 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (Ksi$czak et al., 1990). The analysis of solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data performed by Ksi@czak (1986b) suggests that aromatic compounds with a large dipole moment which do not form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, such as 2-nitrophenol or 4-nitrotoluene, dimerize as a result of dipole-dipole interactions. Association of these compounds has also been investigated by studying the vapour pressure of pure liquids (Ksi@czak and Kosihski, 1990). The presented conclusions concerning the association of polar aromatic compounds can be used to predict solid-liquid equilibrium on the basis of pure component properties

without fitting any parameters from binary data (Ksi@czak and Anderko, 1987). The goal of this paper is to analyse liquid-liquid equilibrium data, especially the composition of the solution in the critical point, in order to confirm the existence of associated species of the same kind as detected by analysing solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data reported previously. Liquid-liquid coexistence curves were determined for binary systems: 4chlorophenol + hexadecane, 2-methoxyphenol + hexadecane and phenol + hexadecane. The mean association numbers in the critical point have also been calculated from binary liquid-liquid equilibrium data reported in the literature for polar aromatic + hydrocarbon systems. EXPERIMENTAL

2-methoxyphenol (Fluka, pract.) and 4chlorophenol (Koch-Light, pure) were purified by repeated sublimations. The purities, determined by cryoscopy using a UNIPAN d.s.c. type 605 were 99.98% and 99.94% respectively. The purity of phenol (Chemipan, Warsaw) determined by gas chromatography was 99.95%. Hexadecane (Reachim) was purified by repeated distillation. The chromatographically determined purity was 99.9% and the refractive index was n(D,25OC) = 1.43253, while Timmermans (1950) reported n(D,25” C) = 1.4325. The liquid-liquid coexistence curves were determined by measuring the temperature of disappearance of turbulence. The sample, the concentration of which was determined by weighing, was placed in the thermostat. The turbulence disappearance temperature was determined during a very slow temperature increase to within an accuracy of about 0.1 K. Mole fractions of phenol xA and the turbulence disappearance temperatures, T, are reported in Table 1. THE MEAN ASSOCIATION CRITICAL POINT

Classical thermodynamics does not represent correctly the properties of physical systems in the vicinity of the critical point (Sir@ and Van Hook, 1987). The properties of systems in this region can be represented by the scaling theory (Levelt Sengers et al., 1983). The coexistence curve of two phases can be represented by the equation 1s1 - s2 1 = B

s is a measure of composition of the given phase, r, is a critical temperature and p = 0.326 is the critical exponent (Sengers and Levelt Sengers, 1986). The scaling theory predicts only the critical exponent values. The critical point (xc and T,) must be determined experimentally. On the basis of the scaling theory with the Wegner correction the two-liquid coexistence curve can be represented by the equation x=x,+AlItI+A,ItI’-~+AgItIl-a+w+f(B1ItIP+B*It(B+W)/2

(3)

where f= - 1 for x < x, and f= 1 for x > xc, a = 0.11 is the critical exponent and w = 0.5 is the Wegner exponent. Equation (3) was fitted to liquid-liquid equilibrium data in the range of applicability of the scaling theory (Ewing et al., 1988) and also in a broader range of temperature (Luszczyk and Stryjek, 1984). The number of terms in eqn. (3) taken into consideration depends on the temperature range and on the asymmetry of the miscibility gap. Equation (3) has been used in this work to determine the temperature and the composition of the solution in the critical point (T, and x,) from experimental coexistence curves. The position of the critical point is related to the structure of the solution -in the case of investigated systems mainly to the structure of associated species. Assuming, analogously to the solid-liquid equilibria studies (Ksi@czak, 1983, 1986a, b), that the solution along the saturation line can be treated as a pseudobinary mixture consisting of solute X-mer and solvent molecules, the mole fraction of the X-mer is equal to the sum of mole fractions of the monomer and all associates and can be expressed as

x = x/[ x

+ X(1 - x)]

Assuming, also as previously, that non-specific interactions of the X-mer and solvent molecules can be taken into account by the regular solution theory (Hildebrand and Scott, 1950) the activity of the X-mer solute in the mixture can be expressed by a simple equation: G = X exp( XV,D*(l - @)*/RT)

(5)

where @=

xv,/(xv,

+ (1 - x)&J)

(6)

and D is the difference between the modified solubility parameter of the solute (Ksi@czak and Moorthi, 1985) and the solubility parameter of the solvent, and V,, V, are the van der Waals molar volumes of the solute and solvent (Bondi, 1968). Assuming that, to an approximation, the mean association number of the solute, A, does not depend on composition at a given temperature, the

296

activity coefficient of the solute is given by In a = (ln ;)/A = (In x)/h

+ VAD2(1 - @)‘/RT

(7)

The criteria of the existence of the critical point (Prausnitz et al., 1986) applied to the pseudobinary solution model defined by eqn. (7) lead to eqns. (8) and (9) as shown by (Ksigczak, 1981): x,=hVrJ[(X-

(9)

For h = 1 eqns. (8) and (9) give the well-known equations describing the critical point of the regular solution model (Hildebrand and Scott, 1950). The various models of association can be applied to the liquid-liquid critical point. If the non-specific interactions can be represented by the regular solution model the activity coefficient of the solute can be expressed as a sum of two independent terms: In yA = In yIhem+ VAD2(l - @)2/RT

are reported in Tables 1 and lA, together with the experimental data. The obtained representation of data is good and the resulting deviations, AT, can be treated as a measure of random error of experimental data. The mean association number in the critical point The mean association numbers in the critical point have been calculated for the pseudobinary solution model using eqn. (8), and for classical association models: the Mecke-Kempter model, monomer-dimer, monomer-trimer, monomer-tetramer and monomer-hexamer association models, by calculating the association constant K by solving eqn. (11). The van der Waals molar volumes of components have been used, analogously to the solubility equation (Ksi@czak, 1986a). These values have been calculated from group contributions given by Bondi (1968) consistent with UNIFAC group sizes (Fredenslund et al., 1977). In the systems investigated in this work, with hexadecane as a solvent, the van der Waals molar volume of the solvent is several times greater than that of the monomer of the solute, and close to the van der Waals molar volume of the associated species. It enables us to suppose that the effects of different sizes of species in the solution, not taken properly into account in the regular solution theory (Hildebrand and Scott, 1950), are not important in the analysis of the properties of the pseudobinary solution of the associated solute and solvent. The results of the mean association number calculations, performed on the basis of the fitted (see Table 3) or experimental x, values are presented in Table 4.

points in a pseudobinary solution model (column 3), the Mecke-Kempter continuous association model (column 4), and the monomer-dimer (column 5), monomer-trimer (column 6), monomer-tetramer (column 7) and monomer-hexamer (column 8) association models are given for systems investigated in this work and found in the literature. The number of the specific

302

monomer-i-mer association models used is limited by the structures of associates observed in the solid phases of solutes (Ksi@czak, 1983). The lack of numerical values denotes that the given model cannot explain the observed value of the critical point composition x,. The errors of determining the critical point have not been taken into account in the calculations. Only for the pseudobinary solution model (with constant h) is the error of determining the mean association number, X, in the critical point reported. This results from the conventionally used estimate of the error in x, equal to 0.01 and the calculated values of the derivative dX/dx,. For the 4-chlorophenol + hexadecane system the mean association number h = 3.38 + 0.34 has been obtained in the pseudobinary solution model. In previous papers (Ksi$czak, 1986a, Ksi@czak and Anderko, 1987) the solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data for the 4-chlorophenol + cyclohexane system was interpreted assuming that the mean association number, X, along the saturation line is equal to or close to 4. Tetramers of 4-chlorophenol’were detected in the metastable solid phase, /?, of this compound (Perrin and Michel, 1973). These results are consistent, especially taking into account the error of determining the value of x,. The position of the critical point cannot be justified using the Mecke-Kempter continuous association model or monomer-dimer and monomer-trimer association models. For the 2-methoxyphenol + hexadecane system, in all models used, values of the mean association number h = 2 have been obtained. This result agrees well with the solid-liquid equilibrium data analysis performed previously by Ksi@czak (1986b) for 2-methoxyphenol + cyclohexane systems, where a value of X = 2.11 was obtained. The analysis of the pure liquid vapour pressure data (Ksigczak and Kosinski, 1990) suggests that this compound forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds. A cyclic dimer, tith two hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl and methoxy groups, is probably formed. For the phenol + hexadecane system values of the mean association number A = 3 have been obtained, fully consistent with the results of the solid-liquid equilibrium data analysis for the systems: phenol + 4bromotoluene (Ksi@czak, 1983), + hexane, + heptane (Ksigczak, 1986a, Ksi@czak and Anderko, 1987), + pentane, + 2-methylbutane, + 2-methylpentane, + methylcyclohexane, and + decane (Ksi@czak and Anderko, 1987). For these systems a good representation of solid-liquid equilibrium data was obtained assuming X = 3. For the liquid-liquid systems: phenol + pentane, phenol + 2methylbutane, phenol + hexane, phenol + 2-methylpentane, phenol + heptane (Vondracek, 1937), phenol + octane (Campetti and de1 Grosso, 1913) and phenol + decane (Gmehling, 1982) mean association numbers between 2 and 4 have been obtained, also consistent with the previously published results. For systems containing phenol the position of the critical

303

point cannot be explained using the Mecke-Kempter continuous association model. For the 3-methoxyphenol + cyclohexane system (Ksi@czak, 1981) values of the mean association number X = 5 have been obtained. If the estimated uncertainty of these results (about 1.5) is taken into account, they suggest the formation of higher associates (hexamers?). For the system 2,6-dimethoxyphenol + cyclohexane (Ksi$czak, 1981) the mean association number X = 1.22 in the pseudobinary solution model suggests a weak association, similar to that observed in the 2,6-dimethylpheno1 + cyclohexane system (Ksiqiczak and Kosinslci, 1988a). In a molecule of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol two o&ho-substituents bring about a steric hindrance around the hydroxyl group, impeding association (as in 2,6_dimethylphenol), and additionally can form an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group. This explains the weak autoassociation. For the sequence of systems: 2nitrophenol+ eicosane, + hexadecane, + decane and + hexane, values of the mean association number X between 1 and 2 have been obtained. It was previously shown (Ksigczak, 1986b, Ksi@czak and Anderko, 1987), that 2nitrophenol dimerizes as a result of dipole-dipole interactions, and the hydroxyl group is bonded in the intramolecular hydrogen bond. This fact is confirmed by the analysis of pure liquid vapour pressure data (Ksi@czak and Kosinski, 1990). For 4nitrotoluene and nitrobenzene solutions, values of the mean association number X between 1.75 and 2.83 have been obtained, confirming the existence of the association of nitroaromatic compounds as a result of dipole-dipole interactions. Prediction of the liquid-liquid equilibrium critical point composition In the models discussed, the composition of the solution in the liquidliquid critical point depends on specific interactions, leading to association, and on (van der Waals) molar volumes of components, but does not depend on the parameter D describing the effects of non-specific intermolecular interactions. These models enable us to predict x, on the basis of information about the structure of associates arising from X-ray studies of solid solutes or from the analysis of the solid-liquid(-vapour) equilibrium data. In the solution in an inert solvent such as hydrocarbon, the effect of the specific interactions of the solute molecules on the deviations of the properties of the solution from ideality is stronger than in the solution in a more active solvent. In the case of specific monomer-i-mer association models the mean association number, A, in concentrated solutions of a strong autoassociated solute in an inert solvent is close to the limiting value X = i. This approximation can be used to predict x,.

In column 5, x, predicted from these A values are given. They can be compared with the x, values obtained from experimental data or from the literature (column 3) and with the x, values predicted on the basis of the classical regular solution theory (Hildebrand and Scott, 1950) (A = 1) (column 6).

305 CONCLUSION

The analysis of the mean association number, A, in the liquid-liquid critical point confirms the results concerning association of polar aromatic compounds in hydrocarbon solutions, obtained previously from analysis of solid-liquid and solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium data. The mean value of the mean association number, A, of phenol in various hydrocarbons is equal to 3.11 and confirms that the privileged structure of phenol associates is a trimer. The mean value of the mean association number, A, of polar compounds not forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds in various hydrocarbons is equal to 2.06 and confirms that the privileged structure of associates is a dimer. The presented results agree well with the results of previous analyses, although the effects of different molecular size and shape are not fully recognized by the models used and the uncertainty of determining the x, values cannot be disregarded for some systems for which the number of experimental points is small and comparable with the number of adjusted parameters. The models of solution used in this work enable us to determine the composition of the solution in the critical point without paying attention to the value of parameter D describing the contribution of non-specific interaction. This fact makes it possible to determine if a given model can describe X, in a solution and to verify the parameters of association. The values of x, determined from the liquid-liquid equilibrium experimental data for the solutions of phenol in hydrocarbons cannot be analysed on the basis of either the Mecke-Kempter continuous association model or the monomerdimer association model. In addition, in the case of the 4nitrotoluene and nitrobenzene solutions the Mecke-Kempter continuous association model cannot be applied to represent x,. These results additionally suggest the specific association of these compounds. LIST OF SYMBOLS a
