Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium for the Ternary Systems Water + 1-Butanol + 1-Hexanol or 1-Octanol at 303.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K

Liquid–liquid equilibrium data (LLE) of ternary systems {water + 1-butanol + 1-hexanol} and {water + 1-butanol + 1-octanol} were investigated at 303.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K at 101.3 kPa. The distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity factor (S) were calculated from experimental LLE data. Meanwhile, the effect of temperature on the two-phase zone of the two systems was discussed. The nonrandom two liquid and universal quasi-chemical activity coefficient models were used to regress experimental data sets and generate the relevant binary interaction parameters. Both thermodynamic models provided similar good descriptions for the studied systems with root mean square deviations between the calculated and experimental values less than 0.3%.
