In the present work, an analysis of the mutual arrangement of a number of iso-manifolds in the concentration tetrahedron formed by the components of the separated mixture and an additional substance, an extractive agent, was carried out to estimate the possibility of separating three-component mixtures containing biazeotropic constituents by extractive rectification. The objects of research were four-component systems formed by ternary constituents (butyl propionate (BP) - propionic acid (PA) - butyl butyrate (BB), butyl propionate - propionic acid - butyric acid (BA), butyl butyrate - butyric acid -butyl propionate, butyl butyrate - butyric acid -propionic acid) of the commercially important BP-PA-BB-BA system, and the extractive agent sulfolane. Using the results of the computational experiment based on mathematical model NRTL-HOC we obtained complete data on the vapor-liquid equilibrium in binary, three- and four-component systems. The structures of liquid-vapor phase diagrams were obtained, and thermodynamic-topological analysis of all four-component systems was carried out. The mutual arrangement in the concentration tetrahedron of manifolds of relative volatility (equal to 1) of the components, reflecting the evolution of pseudo-azeotropes in sections with a constant concentration of the extractive agent; pseudo-ideal manifolds along which the activity coefficients of the components of the base (separated) mixture are equal to each other; isothermo-isobaric manifolds generated by Bancroft points in binary azeotropic constituents were determined. We established that it is possible to separate the studied three-component mixtures by extractive rectification using sulfolane.

Проведена оценка энергетических параметров бинарного взаимодействия моделей UNIQUAC и NRTL по второй производной энергии Гиббса смешения на примере смесей 1-пропанол–вода и вода–масляная кислота. Экспериментальные и расчетные данные согласуются с высокой точностью. Установлено, что известные энергетические параметры для смеси 1-пропанол–вода прогнозируют расслаивание смеси, так как некоторые из членов второй производной энергии Гиббса смешения при расчете фазового равновесия пар–жидкость являются отрицательными. Расслаивание подтверждено наличием двух точек с общей касательной кривой зависимости энергии Гиббса от концентрации x1. В литературе отсутствуют данные о расслаивании данной смеси. 1-Пропанол и вода смешиваются в любых соотношениях, и азеотроп является гомогенным. Анализ энергетических параметров бинарного взаимодействия смеси вода–масляная кислота также показал наличие отрицательных членов второй производной энергии Гиббса смешения, что не противоречит имеющимся данным, согласно которым азеотроп является гетерогенным. Таким образом, при поиске параметров бинарного взаимодействия моделей UNIQUAC и NRTL при обработке экспериментальных данных необходимо проводить их анализ по второй производной энергии Гиббса смешения. The energy parameters of the binary interaction of the UNIQUAC and NRTL models for the second derivative of the Gibbs energy mixing are estimated using the example of mixtures 1-propanol-water and water-butyric acid. The experimental and calculated data are consistent with high accuracy. It is established that the known energy parameters for the 1-propanol–water mixture predict the delamination of the mixture, since some of the terms of the second derivative of the Gibbs energy mixing in the vapor-liquid phase equilibrium calculation are negative. The delamination was confirmed by the presence of two points with a common tangent to the curve of the dependence of the Gibbs energy on the concentration x1. There is no data in the literature on the delamination of this mixture. 1-propanol and water are mixed in any ratio, and the azeotrope is homogeneous. The analysis of the energy parameters of the binary interaction of the water–butyric acid mixture also showed the presence of negative members of the second derivative of the Gibbs energy mixing, which does not contradict the literature data, according to which the azeotrope is heterogeneous. Thus, when searching for the parameters of the binary interaction of the UNIQUAC and NRTL models during the processing of the experimental data, it is necessary to analyze them using the second derivative of the Gibbs energy mixing.

On a diet containing fodder sugar beets the proportion of butyric acid in the mixture of the volatile fatty acids of the rumen contents was found to be unusually high. When the rumen contents were incubated at different pH-levels in vitro, it was found that the proportion of butyric acid in the volatile fatty acid mixture produced increases when the pH decreases. Using polyethylene glycol as a reference substance, the transfer of fluid through the reticulo-omasal orifice was studied. The transfer of volatile fatty acids into the omasum is calculated on the basis of the fluid flow and on the acid concentrations of the fluid in the lower anterior part of the contents.
