2,3-Dimethylpentane and 2-Methylhexane as a Test Mixture for Evaluating Highly Efficient Fractionating Columns*

Abstract

A test mixture consisting of 2,3-dimethylpentane and 2-methylhexane was prepared and its relative volatility determined by a fractional distillation method. This test mixture was compared, experimentally and theoretically, with another test mixture commonly used for evaluating highly efficient fractionating columns.
