Article Description

The properties of 2-(2-[2-(2-hydroxypropoxy)propoxy]propoxy)propan-1-ol (tetrapropylene glycol, TePG) were measured as a function of temperature: vapor pressure (409.85 to 582.15) K, density (298.15 to 443.15) K, viscosity (288.15 to 393.15) K, and surface tension (298.15 to 468.15) K. The obtained data for tetrapropylene glycol were regressed using correlations from simulation software. We are developing a new industrial process to separate propylene glycols mixtures, obtained via the hydrolysis of 1,2-epoxy propane. One component of the mixture is not defined in the database of the simulation program. For synthesis and simulation of this process, it is necessary to have (1) the component TePG defined as a chemical structure, (2) the physical and transport properties of this component, and (3) vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the components of the mixture. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
