Abstract:
This work reports equilibrium data for two amines, 2-piperidineethanol (2-PPE) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine (1-(2HE)PRLD), and their aqueous solutions. The pressure, temperature, and composition data are used to calculate experimental activities. Data cover temperatures from 363 to 426 K for the pure amines and from 323 to 373 K for the aqueous solutions. A UNIQUAC model was used to represent the binary vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE), whereas the Antoine equation was used for pure components. In an aqueous solution, the vapor pressure of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine (1-(2HE)PRLD) over the measured composition and temperature ranges is higher than that of 2-piperidineethanol (2-PPE). The developed UNIQUAC models represent the data well. For 2-piperidineethanol (2-PPE), the model gave 1.9% deviations for total pressure, 12.4% for vapor-phase composition, 12.7% for the calculated activity coefficients, and 16.2% for the excess heat capacity. In the case of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine (1-(2HE)PRLD), the model was slightly more accurate, representing the data with 1.7% deviation for total pressure, 5.9% for vapor-phase composition, and 5.2% for the calculated activity coefficient.

Vapor Pressure Lowering
Dissolving a nonvolatile substance in volatile liquid results in a lowering of the liquid’s vapor pressure. This phenomenon can be explained by considering the effect of added solute molecules on the liquid's vaporization and condensation processes. To vaporize, solvent molecules must be present at the surface of the solution....
Physical Properties of Ethers
An ether molecule has a net dipole moment due to the polarity of C–O bonds. Subsequently, boiling points of ethers are lower than those of alcohols of comparable molecular weight and slightly higher than those of hydrocarbons of comparable molecular weight (Table 1).
Ethers can act as hydrogen bond acceptors, making them more water-soluble than hydrocarbons, but since ethers cannot act as hydrogen bond donors, they are much less soluble in water than alcohols. Ethers are considered...
