We report in this work, experimental surface tensions for binary mixtures of isomeric chlorobutanes with
butyl ethyl ether or diisopropyl ether from T = 283.15 K to 303.15 K measured with a drop volume tensiometer. The surface tension data have been correlated with a RedlichKister type equation. More information
about the surface behaviour can be obtained combining these results with previously reported VLE measurements to calculate the excess surface composition of ether in the mixture. Finally, the results have been compared to the predictions obtained using a group contribution method.

1. Introduction
In the last few years, our research group has been carrying out a
comprehensive thermodynamic study about mixtures formed by
chlorobutanes and ethers [14] in order to go deeply into the effect
of energetic and structural factors in their behaviour. Moreover, the
study of ether mixtures is important since oxygenated compounds
are added to improve the octane rating and the pollution-reducing
capability of gasoline [510].
The main aim of this work is to study the surface behaviour of
mixtures formed by several haloalkanes and several ethers. For this
purpose, we have used surface tension and several derived properties
to get the molecular information related to the surface behaviour and
the adsorption phenomenon that is carried out during the mixture
process.
The study of the surface behaviour of a mixture has been used so to
get information about the molecular adsorption process of the components of a mixture [1114]. It is also well known that surface tension
of a substance can be related to the extent of the intermolecular interactions of the molecules of the substance: molecules tend to stay in the
bulk of the system due to the increase of their energy when they are
in the surface. The more and stronger intermolecular interactions between molecules, the steeper is the tendency and higher values of surface tension the substance presents. Furthermore, if a mixture is under
study instead of a pure substance, there is a different distribution of
the molecules in the surface, and an adsorption phenomenon appears.

2. Experimental section
The chemicals employed were 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane,
2-methyl-2-chloropropane, butyl ethyl ether and diisopropyl ether
(mass fraction > 0.99) obtained from Aldrich and 2-methyl-1chloropropane (mass fraction > 0.99) provided by Fluka. No additional purication has been carried out.
The surface tension of the pure liquids and their corresponding
mixtures were measured with a drop volume tensiometer Lauda
TVT-2 [25] with an uncertainty of 0.01 mN.m 1. The temperature
was kept constant within 0.01 K by means of an external Lauda
E-200 thermostat. The surface tension, , is calculated from the determined drop volume, V, using the following equation:

The main feature of these systems is that the surface tension deviation, that is the deviation of surface tension behaviour with respect to a
lineal composition dependence is negative, although for the system
2-chloro-2-methylpropane+butyl ethyl ether this deviation is slightly
positive. There is a signicant difference between the systems containing
one or another oxygenated compound; the magnitude of this deviation is
higher in absolute value for the mixtures containing the ether with lower
surface tension, that is diisopropyl ether. On the other hand, among the
isomeric chlorobutanes the surface tension deviation is higher in absolute
vale for the mixtures formed by 1-chlorobutane, which shows the higher
surface tension. With respect to the temperature dependence of the surface tension deviation, its value decrease with temperature except for the
mixtures containing 2-chloro-2-methylpropane. It can be also outlined as
the presence of negative aneotropes [29], negative surface azeotropy, for
some of the mixtures containing diisopropyl ether, at low temperatures
for the mixtures containing 1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane or 1-chloro2-methylpropane and at high temperatures for the mixture involving
2-chloro-2-methylpropane. Information about composition and surface
tension of the aneotropes is summarized in Table 3.

The surface tension values of all the mixtures studied in this work
from T = 283.15 K to 313.15 K can be found in the supplementary
material. The surface tensions are graphically represented in Figs. 1

tensions of the mixing compounds [30]. This fact could explain the results

containing 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is opposite to the other mixtures, in this case the desorption of ether increases with temperature.
On the other hand for the systems formed by diisopropyl ether x2 x2
values also decreases with temperature, although for mixtures formed
by 1-chlorobutane or 2-chlorobutane there is an inexion point at
x2 = 0.7 and x2 = 0.8 respectively. Comparing the behaviour of the two
ethers it is clear that the excess surface composition of diisopropyl
ether is bigger than the corresponding excess surface composition of
butyl ethyl ether due to its lower surface tension. On the other hand,
the adsorption of the ether is clearly enhanced when 1-chlorobutane
is one of the component of the mixture.
