Abstract (EN): Vapor-liquid equilibrium data are presented for the binary systems ethyl formate-methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) at 40°C and 50 °C and ethyl formate-toluene at 48°Cand 51°C and for the ternary system ethyl formate-MEK-toluene at 50°C. The measurements were carried out in a recirculation still similar to that proposed by Röck and Sieg. Vapor pressures of the pure substances were measured and the data correlated using the Antoine equation. The binary data were reduced by means of a maximum-likelihood procedure providing the relevant Margules, NRTL and UNIQUAC parameters. New UNIFAC interaction parameters between the groups ACH/HCOO, ACCH2/HCOO and CH2CO/HCOO have been obtained. These parameters have been used to predict the ternary data, and a comparison between the experimental and predicted values is presented. © 1984.
