Sulfolane, alcohols, and glycols are commonly used as solvents in different industrial recovery processes. The focus of the present work is to measure volumetric (densities, ρ) and transport (dynamic viscosity, η) properties of the binary mixtures sulfolane + 2-butanol (or 2-propanol, diethylene glycol, or triethylene glycol) within a temperature range from T = 303.15 K to T = 343.15 K, at atmospheric pressure. Densities and viscosities were measured using a viscodensimeter (Anton Paar SVM 3000 Digital Oscillation U-tube). The experimental results of density and viscosity for both pure and binary systems show a decrease with increasing temperature, as expected for liquids. Excess volumes and viscosity deviations were obtained from the experimental data and fit using a Redlich-Kister type equation. VE values show a dual behavior, presenting positive and negative data, depending on the nature of the liquid mixtures, whereas Δη values are negative in the whole composition range in all systems studied. Thermal expansion coefficients were calculated using the experimental data, assuming positive and negative values. © 2014 American Chemical Society.59721962206Santiago, R.S., Aznar, M., Quinary liquid-liquid equilibria for mixtures of nonane + undecane + two pairs of aromatics (benzene/toluene/m-xylene) + sulfolane at 298.15 and 313.15 K (2007) Fluid Phase Equilibria, 259, pp. 71-76. , DOI 10.1016/j.fluid.2007.03.023, PII S0378381207001653Ashour, I., Abu-Eishah, S.I., Liquid-liquid equilibria for cyclohexane + ethylbenzene + sulfolane at (303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K (2006) Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data, 51 (3), pp. 859-863. , DOI 10.1021/je050227fPatwari, M.K., Bachu, R.K., Boodida, S., Nallani, S., Densities, viscosities, and speeds of sound of binary liquid mixtures of sulfolane with ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, and n-butyl acetate at temperature of (303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K (2009) J.
