Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria of binary mixtures containing dimethyl carbonate under atmospheric pressure

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) have been determined for the binary systems of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) + ethanol, dimethyl carbonate + diethyl carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate + propylene glycol (PG), and dimethyl carbonate + propylene carbonate (PC) under atmospheric pressure in an Ellis equilibrium still. The data have been checked by employing a global statistic thermodynamic consistency test and also have been correlated by means of both the Wilson equation and the NRTL equation. The experimental results demonstrated that the systems of DMC + ethanol and DMC + PG show strong positive deviations from ideality and that the systems of DMC + DEC and DMC + PC are close to ideality.
