The effect of salts on the vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of solvent mixtures has been of considerable interest in separation processes. Salts may be added to a system to alter the VLE behavior in the extractive or azeotropic distillation. The effect of magnesium chloride on the vapor-liquid equilibria for the system ethanol + benzene at different salt concentrations was studied at 100.0 kPa. The measured mole fractions in the vapor phase were correlated by the Johnson-Furter and Sada models. Thermodynamic consistency was checked by the restricted range area test with satisfactory results.
