Vapor-liquid equilibria in binary systems of phenol or cresols plus water, plus toluene, and plus octane and liquid-liquid equilibria in binary systems of cresols plus water

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data were measured at 333.15 and 363.15 K for the systems toluene + phenol, toluene + 2-cresol, toluene + 3-cresol, toluene + 4-cresol, octane + 2-cresol, octane + 3-cresol, water + phenol, and water + 3 cresol. Additionally, heteroazeotropic data of water + 2-cresol and water + 4-cresol were determined. The solubility of water in 2-cresol, 3-cresol, and 4-cresol was measured by photometric turbidity titration. Excess molar volumes for the systems toluene + phenol or cresols and octane + 2 cresol or + 3 cresol are presented together with Redlich-Kister polynomial fits. The VLE data and, if present, LLE data have been regressed according to the models NRTL, UNIQUAC, and Elliott Suresh Donohue equation of state together with data from the literature.
