Reply to 'Comments on 'Experimental Measurements of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Data for the Binary System of Methanol + 2-Butyl Acetate, 2-Butyl Alcohol + 2-Butyl Acetate and Methyl Acetate + 2-Butyl Acetate at 101.33 kPa''

摘要

We appreciate the comment from Dr. Wisniak. The comments by J. Wisniak on the paper by Wang et al. provide many constructive suggestions. These comments appear to be reasonable. However, responding to the comment, we would like to draw attention to the following aspects: (1) In our work, the Herington test was employed to verify the reliability of the experimental data. It is well-known that the Herington test is a semiempirical method of the thermodynamics consistency test for the binary VLE data. And the point-to-point test is also a semiempirical method when the parameter, β (eq 1), is not obtained. But as the traditional test method for thermodynamic consistency, these tests have been still applied widely by many researchers.
