Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium of systems containing triethyl orthoformate at 101.3 kPa

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium data of ethanol(1)-triethyl orthoformate( 2), benzene(1)-triethyl orthoformate(2) and ethanol(1)-benzene(2)-triethyl orthoformate(3) were measured at 101.3 kPa and under a wide range of temper atures (349-420 K), using the Rose-Williams still modified by the authors. The experimental data of binary systems were tested for thermodynamic consi stency with the method of Fredenslund and coworkers and correlated satisfac torily with SRK equation and PR equation of state. The VLE data of ethanol( 1)-benzene(2)triethyl orthoformate(3) ternary system were tested with the m ethod of McDermont-Ellis and were predicted with the parameters of SRK and PR equation of state obtained from binary systems.
