ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
A IODIFIED WILSONEQUATION
The Wilson equation (Wilson. 1964) has been modified based on the
conservation of local mole fractions (Nagatani et a1.,1986; Higashiuchi
et al., 1987). This equation has a multicomponent parameter which does
not appear in binary systems.
The activity coefficient for component i in a multicomponent mixture
is expressed as
hYi=C(l-h Ai-~[(Xj/Aj)(Aj~-B,j+Cj)])
(1)

where
Aj= C Ajqxq (2)

CORRELATION
DISCUSSION
CONCLUSION
Recommended LLE data by Skrzecz for the six methanol binary mixtures
(methanol + n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane. n-decane. and
n-hexadecane) and one ethanol binary mixture (ethanol + n-hexadecane) were
correlated using a modified Wilson equation. By representing the binary
interaction parameters as a function of temperature, LLE of these 1-alkanol
+ n-alkane binary mixtures could be correlated with good agreement up to
the critical region.
