Isobaric
vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) experimental data
for camphene + (±)-limonene, camphene + (+)-3-carene, (±)-limonene
+ (+)-3-carene, and camphene + (+)-3-carene + (±)-limonene were
determined in an improved Ellis still. Furthermore, saturated vapor
pressure measurements for camphene across a temperature range of 357.01
to 432.16 K were reported. Additionally, the vapor pressure data,
obtained also using an improved Ellis equilibrium still, were fitted
by the Antoine equation. The thermodynamic consistency of the VLE
values was confirmed by the Herington area and van Ness tests. The
VLE data were correlated using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), Wilson,
and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) activity coefficient models
with the measurements demonstrating good correlation. Moreover, the
corresponding binary interaction parameters of the three models were
regressed. The maximum average absolute deviation of temperature (AAD(T)) and maximum average absolute deviation of vapor-phase
mole fraction (AAD(y)) are 0.0855 and 0.0013 for
the camphene + (±)-limonene system, 0.0112 and 0.0003 for the
camphene + (+)-3-carene system, and 0.0128 and 0.0002 for the (±)-limonene
+ (+)-3-carene system, respectively. These models were also used to
predict the ternary system VLE data. The predictive results suggested
that the NRTL model had the best prediction.
