INVESTIGATION OF SOLUBILITY DIAGRAM OF ACETIC ACID-WATERCYCLOPENTANOL TERNARY SYSTEM
Abstract
Acetic acid-water-cyclopentanol ternary system, cyclopentanol being the solvent was examined at 298.15 K. The distribution coefficient of acetic acid between water and cyclopentanol was determined at 298.15 K and 308.15 K. The solubility curve of the ternary system was graphed. The six tie-lines was experimentally studied. In order to notice the differrence between the theoritical and practical values of the tie-lines, the Othmer-Tobias correlation was applied to the obtained. In addition the graphic of distribution in solvent and raffinate phases of the compositions which were selected for obtaining the tie-lines was introduced.
