Abstract: Abstract: In order to study the possibility of separating ethyl acetate and isopropanol by extractive distillation with ILs as an entrainer. Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium data for ethyl acetate + isopropanol+1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([OMIM]BF4) ternary system at 101.32 kPa were determined using a recirculating still. The results showed that the ionic liquid (IL) studied produced a notable salting-out effect, which enhanced the relative volatility of ethyl acetate to isopropanol and eliminated the azeotrope when the mole fraction of IL in the liquid phase was greater than 0.10. Therefore, [OMIM]BF4 can be used as the extraction agent of extractive distillation for ethyl acetate + isopropanol systerm, the suitable mole fraction of [OMIM]BF4 is about 20%. The experimental data were correlated with the NRTL model, the correlated results agreed well with the experimental data.

Abstract: One of difficult pollution control tasks for leather plants is the dimethylamine wastewater treatment. It is identified that there are two serious problems occurring in the current treatment process: low removal efficiency and low recycle efficiency. To solve these problems, new-type high efficiency packing and wastewater treatment process are proposed. The rectifying conditions of dimethylamine wastewater were investigated in a laboratory continuous distillation tower. Dimethylamine distillation efficiencies of no less than 47% at the top of tower was obtained, when the bottom temperature was controlled between 105～106°C, reflux ratio between 2～3, Final concentrations of less than 50 mg•L-1 at the bottom was obtained.

Abstract: Atmospheric vapor-liquid equilibrium data of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) - methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) were measured using an improved Rose still and were used to recover the parameters of NRTL and UNIQUAC models. The results show that the simulated results agree well with the experimental data. The mean temperature variation is 0.14 °C and the mean mole fraction variation is 0.0023 using UNIQUAC model while the mean temperature variation is 0.17 °C and the mean mole fraction variation is 0.0025 using NRTL model. Both models can be used to calculate the atmospheric vapor-liquid equilibrium data of MEK - MIBK.

Abstract: Prediction of the behavior of systems containing halogenated silanes required modification of the mixing rules used for solution models. In this work, interaction parameters for the characterization of binary systems of methylvinyldichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane, methyldichlorosilane and toluene at 101.3 kpa were evaluated accounting for the ideality of the vapor phase. The experimental measurements of liquid phase composition and bubble point temperature were found to be well represented by the Wilson model. Computed values of the vapor phase mole fractions, activity coefficients and excess Gibbs free energies from the model were presented and discussed.

Abstract: Six ternary silane systems were selected for the separation factor (s) calculation. These systems were: methyldichlorosilane+methyltrichlorosilane+benzene, methyldichlorosilane+ methyltrichlorosilane+dimethyldichlorosilane, methyldichlorosilane+methyltrichlorosilane+ toluene, methyltrichlorosilane+methylvinyldichlorosilane+toluene,methyldichlorosilane+methyltrichloro- silane+methylvinyldichlorosilane, dimethyldiethoxysilane+methyltriethoxysilane+ethanol. Based on the Antoine constants, critical parameters of the pure components and Wilson model parameters, the separation factors were obtained through a program. The effect of temperature and mole fraction to s was also discussed.

Abstract: The vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the binary systems ethanol-water (1), propylene oxide (PO)-ethanol (2), PO-water (3) and the ternary system PO-ethanol-water (4) were determined at 101.3kPa. The binary VLE data measured passed the thermodynamic consistency verification. The experimental VLE data of the binary systems were correlated with the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) models. The results show that the values of molar fraction of the ternary system (4) in vapor phase from the binary NRTL parameters agree well with the experimental data.
