Isobaric Phase Equilibria in the Binary Systems Ethyl 1,1-Dimethylethyl Ether + 1-hexene and + Cyclohexene at 94.00 kPa

Abstract Consistent vapor-liquid equilibrium has been determined for the binary systems 1-hexene + ethyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (ETBE) and ethyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether + cyclohexene at 94.00 kPa. The two systems present slight positive deviations from ideal behavior, can be considered to behave like regular solutions and do not present azeotropic behavior. Pure component vapor pressures are also reported for 1-hexene and cyclohexene. The phase equilibrium of the systems was correlated well by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, and NRTL models and reasonably predicted by the UNIFAC group contribution method. The boiling points of the binary systems were correlated with the Wisniak-Tamir equation.
