Abstract
This paper presents the initial study of vapor-liquid equilibria data for the systems (a) diacetone alcohol-methanol (b) diacetone alcohol-ethanol and (c) diacetone alcohol-benzene at 100mm and 200mm and confirms the data reported by Hack and Van Winkle (6) on the system (d) diacetone alcohol-water at the same pressures. Margules and Redlich and Kister constants have been determined from the data, and are presented for use in future studies.
A comparison has been made between Redlich and Kister constants determined from laboratory data, and Redlich and Kister constants predicted from the physical properties of the components. Redlich and Kister constants predicted from the physical properties of the components indicate that system (a) should be moderately associated (b) mildly associated, (c) "ideal", and (d) highly associated. Actual laboratory data shows that system (a) is moderately associated, (b) mildly associated (c) moderately associated and (d) moderately associated.
