Abstract
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria were determined experimentally for the three binary systems benzene-chlorobenzene, benzene-phenol, and chlorobenzene-phenol; and for the corresponding ternary system benzene-chlorobenzene-phenol. Constants for the Chao modified Redlich-Kistler equations were calculated from the experimental data by the method of least squares. These constants were then used to predict vapor-liquid equilibria for the ternary system. The predicted values showed satisfactory agreement with those found experimentally.
A modified Ellis still was used for obtaining equilibrium data. Samples of vapor and liquid phases were analyzed by means of the F & M Model 720 vapor phase chromatograph. Benzene, chlorobenzene, and phenol used in this work were all of the CP reagent grade and were further purified by the recommended methods.
New information presented in this paper covers the isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria for benzene-phenol and chlorobenzene-phenol systems, as well as the correlation of the binary data by means of Chao modified Redlich-Kistler equations, constants of which can be used directly for predicting vapor-liquid equilibria in the benzene-chlorobenzene-phenol ternary system.
