Issue Date: | 1999 | Publisher: | 1463-9076 | Journal: | Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics | Abstract: | This paper presents an interpretation on the behaviour of mixtures containing alkyl methanoates with n-alkanes from a structural point of view. New experimental data of molar excess properties, h(E) and v(E), are measured at 298.15 K and 101.32 kPa for this work to complete the existing information. Mixtures corresponding to methyl methanoate + n-alkanes showed excess quantities higher than expected because of the self-association of methyl methanoates, which decreases as the chain length/molar mass of alkyl methanoates increases. The consideration of autoassociation in methanoates, presented in this paper as an empirical relationship for its characterization as a function of number of carbon atoms of alkyl methanoate, was included as a specific term in the UNIFAC model that gave excellent results in the predictions of H(E), with mean differences smaller than 2%. In the Nitta model the association in methanoates was considered employing different forms of molecular interactions but the results were not so good. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48580 | ISSN: | 1463-9076 | DOI: | 10.1039/a901452g | Source: | Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics[ISSN 1463-9076],v. 1 (12), p. 2967-2974 |
