Estimation of azeotropic properties was attempted for the following three ternary systems at atmospheric pressure: Methanol-Acetone-Chloroform, Benzene-Ethanol-Cyclohexane, Methanol-Methylacetate-Chloroform, by means of the Malesinski's and UNIFAC methods.
All systems possessed binary and ternary azeotropic behavior (maximum, minimum and saddle azeotropic points).
Comparisons of azeotropic compositions and temperatures were made between experimental values and estimated values of the Malesinski's and UNIFAC methods.
The Malesinski's method showed deviations from the reported experimental azeotropic values.
UNIFAC method demonstrated a slightly better estimation than the Malesinsk's method.
