Phase equilibria in binary systems formed by phenol with benzene, n-octane, and n-decane

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data have been measured for the binary systems benzene-phenol (80 /sup 0/C), n-octane-phenol (110 /sup 0/C), and n-decane-phenol (120 /sup 0/C). Thermodynamic consistency was checked by two methods, and the parameters in different expressions for the excess Gibbs energy have been fitted. Furthermore, the region of mutual solubility (LLE, SLE) of the binary system n-decane-phenol has been investigated.
