Theoretical and Experimental Methods for Studying Volumetric Behavior of Binary mixtures Containing Normal Alkanols

Abstract

In this paper, molecular interactions in the binary mixtures composed of a xylene and selected 1-alkanol (1-butanol up to 1-octanol) were investigated by measurement of the density at T= 323.15 K. From the experimental data, excess molar volumes were calculated. Obtained data were interpreted based on the type and magnitude of the physico-chemical interactions in the binary liquid systems. In this sense, PC-SAFT was used to correlate the volumetric behavior of binary mixtures. The correlated values of the model were satisfactory and the obtained data are within the uncertainty region.
