Abstract

The correlation of the data for phase and chemical equilibrium in acetic acid-n-butanol-water-n-butylacetate is presented. The azeotropic properties, the topological structure and the existence of a reactive azeotrope are discussed. The data are correlated by Hayden-O'Connell second virial coefficients and NRTL. Chemical equilibrium constant has a strong influence on the reactive azeotrope.
