The separation of propylene carbonate (PC) and γ-butyrolactone (GBL) from their primary impurities, which include water, propylene glycol (PG), and diethyl succinate (DES) and lower the potential of PC as a solvent in lithium batteries, was investigated. Consequently, the isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria (VLEs) for the PG + PC, GBL + DES, and water + GBL binary systems, as well as the solid−liquid equilibria (SLEs) for the GBL + DES and water + GBL binary systems, were characterized. The Wilson, nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), and universal quasi-chemical (UNIQUAC) equations are used to describe the aforementioned VLEs and SLEs. Furthermore, we report the vapor pressures of PG, GBL, DES, and PC with a dynamic glass still from T = (376.99 to 485.91) K, as well as excess molar volume mixture properties (V
E), deviations in the molar refraction (ΔR), and deviations in viscosity (Δη) at 298.15 K for the same compositions.
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.
