534 in the vapor increases with increasing concentration of acid (consistent wit Equation 17) and, at a given level of acid strength, with increasing pyri- dine-to-acid mole ratio, see Figures 2 and 3, Tables VI and VII. Although it was expected that quinoline should behave similar to pyridine, such was not the case. Quinoline was realized in the distillate i of the Othmer still; however, the quinoline concentration lis significantly lower than pyridine for a given mole ratio of base to acid. Two factors, ,~ low vapor pressure and low solubility, cause problems in the quinoline I system. Because of the relatively poor solubility of quinoline in water ; -(0.08 g/100 ml at.25 C), recovery of quinoline as a distillate product depends on the limitations of a steam distillation system. Accordingly, the distillate composition is a function of the vapor pressure of quinoline ': at the boilihg point of the mixed liquid phase. Because of the low volatil- ity of quinoline, only about 2 weight percent quinoline is realized in the distillate during the regeneration step. Thus, typical Othmer equilibrium data are not realized for quinoline. Therefore, although quinoline can be recovered by a cyclic 1 regenerative process, the system is not analogous to the pyridine system. The quinoline system appears suitable on the basis of ApK data, but other factors such as solubility and volatility must be considered for practical application.
