| Abstract | Vapor-liquid equilibria were measured for dilute aqueous solutions of formic acid, acetic acid, pyridine, aniline, isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, n-butyl acetate, dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate and dioxane, respectively, at various pH, temps and concns of sodium chloride. The substances chosen are very important raw materials or intermediates in chemical industry and are widely used. Phthalates are used as plasticizers and leach, in small amounts, into water from plastics. Recently in Japan, phthalates are being recognized as a new polluting material in sea water and river water. The vapor-liquid equilibria were severely affected by the pH of the solution, not only for the electrolytes (such as formic acid and pyridine), but also for esters. This is probably due to the effect of pH on the degree of the dissociation to electrolytes and on the hydrolysis of esters. The phase equilibria of some organic materials which are less soluble in water (such as phthalates and higher alcohols) were greatly affected by the salting-out effect of salinity. If the feed sea water to distillation plants is contaminated by volatile organic materials, some of them concentrate in the distilled water. Therefore, attention must be given to the properties of volatile, polluting materials n sea water when the product water from desalination processes is for human consumption. |
