Jm. Resa et al., Vapor-liquid equilibria for methanol plus pentyl acetate, vinyl acetate plus pentyl acetate, and methanol plus isopentyl acetate, FLU PH EQUI, 182(1-2), 2001, pp. 177-187
Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria were determined at 101.3 kPa for methanol
+ pentyl acetate, methanol + isopentyl acetate, and vinyl acetate + pentyl
acetate. The thermodynamic consistency of the experimental data was checked
by using a modified Dechema test. The activity coefficients were correlate
d with Margules, van Laar, Wilson, NRTL, and Wilson equations. None of the
systems shows azeotropy. Pentyl acetate is a potential extractive distillat
ion entrainer of the azeotropic mixture methanol + vinyl acetate. (C) 2001
