Densities of levulinic acid, ethyl levulinate, butyl levulinate, furfural, and furfuryl alcohol have been measured using a high-pressure, high-temperature vibrating tube densimeter system over a temperature range from 283.15 to 338.15 K and a pressure range from 0.1 to 60.0 MPa. In the case of levulinic acid, the temperature range was from 308.15 to 338.15 K. The experimental densities have been satisfactorily correlated with the temperature and pressure using the TRIDEN equation. Finally, from the measured densities, some thermodynamic properties, isobaric thermal expansion and isothermal compressibility, have been calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
