A large number of binary vapor-liquid equilibrium data have been reported. However, most of them are at over room temperature and some data at cryogenic temperature are reported recently, while there are little data reported at the low temperature ranging from 0 to -100°C, which is comparatively easy to obtain.
The vapor-liquid equilibrium of the binary system of similar light-hydrocarbons usually has small relative volatirities, but they increase as temperature decreases and hence distillation at low temperature becomes more important.
Authors have investigated isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium of the propylene propane system at low temperatures -33.8°, -39.7°, -44.5° and -49.4°C, using vapor-liquid equilibrium measurement equipment of vapor phase forced circulation type.
We have obtained results which are thermodynamically consistent with the Redlich and Kister's method. The value of relative volatility increases as temperature decreases, but the degree of increase in the propylene rich range is not so large as that in the propane rich region.
Van Laar constants
A and
B were determined and compared with the values of Reamer & Sage and Hanson et al.
