Binary Liquid Mixtures Nonanol and Decanol with their Thermodynamic and Transport Behavior: A Review

Abstract

The extensive knowledge about structural phenomena of mixtures is of indispensable importance in the development of theories in liquid state. The information about structural and molecular interactions of liquid mixtures is quite vital from both fundamental and engineering point of view and can be utilized for further studies. For a better understanding of the non-ideal behavior of complex systems, fundamental thermodynamic and thermo-physical properties are the varied sources in which information is required. The excess thermodynamic properties are very sensitive to variables such as size, shape, composition, temperature and pressure, therefore an important information about the differences in the intermolecular interactions was obtained using these binary liquid mixtures under a range of physiochemical conditions. By using thermodynamics quantities, we can calculate the deviation of thermodynamics properties from those of an ideal mixture. These properties are necessary for the development of thermodynamic models required in optimized processes of the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. Along with diverse industrial applications, binary liquid mixtures can have hazardous effects such as pollutants causing air, water and soil contamination and some of them may have cancerous features. Their organic compounds and derivatives prepared from them are employed in a range of industrial and consumer applications such as perfumes, cosmetics, paints, varnishes, drugs, fuels, explosives, fats, dyes, waxes, resins, plastics, rubber, detergents, DDT etc. making them commercially important.
