In
this work, isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data
for the binary system of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (1) + anisole (2)
at pressures of 33.33, 46.66, 59.99, 73.33, and 94.66 kPa were measured
by using a Swietoslawski-type ebulliometer. The binary VLE data are
correlated by the NRTL and Wilson activity coefficient models, and
binary interaction parameters are determined by a using Nelder–Mead
simplex optimization method. The correlated results are in good agreement
with the experimental measured data, that is, liquid phase composition
versus bubble point temperature for both NRTL and Wilson models. In
addition to the correlated models, a group contribution-based modified
universal quasi-chemical functional-group activity coefficient (UNIFAC)–Lyngby
(LBY) model is used to predict the binary VLE data of the present
binary system. The predicted results are in reasonably good agreement
with the experimental data, indicating that the selected patterns
of group interaction parameters are valid for the present system.
