New phase equilibrium data at ambient and high pressure for strongly asymmetric mixtures containing menthol

New data on phase equilibria in binary and ternary mixtures containing (-)-menthol, n-decane, 1-decanol and water are presented and discussed. In particular, experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium phase diagrams in ternary systems {(-)-menthol + (n-decane, or 1-decanol) + water) are reported along with the predictions by means of leading thermodynamic models, namely, perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) and conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS). Freezing pressure data for binary systems {()-menthol + (n-decane, or 1-decanol)) are reported and the corresponding high-pressure solid-liquid equilibrium phase diagrams are discussed and analyzed by using the Yang equation. The measured data are referred to ambient-pressure phase diagrams published previously. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
