Phase Equilibrium States in the n-Dodecane–n-Hexadecane–Cyclododecane System

Resumo

A three-component system comprising cyclododecane and n-alkanes is studied by means of differential thermal analysis on a differential scanning microcalorimeter. It is concluded that the investigated system is of the eutectic type and the n-dodecane–n-hexadecane–cyclododecane eutectic mixture system is 73.0 wt % n-С₁₂Н₂₆, 9.0 wt % n-С₁₆Н₃₄, and 18.0 wt % С₁₂Н₂₄. Its melting point is found to be −17.7°C.
