Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium for Ternary Systems of n-Octanol, Ethylene Glycol, and Different Extractants at 298.2 K

The liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary systems of {n-octanol + ethylene glycol + solvents (water/n-heptane/n-hexane/1-hexene/1-chlorobutane)} at 298.2 K under 101.3 kPa were determined. The solute distribution constant and selectivity were used to analyze the solvent’s extraction ability. Meanwhile, the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to correlate the experimental LLE data, and the binary interaction parameters were obtained. The root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the experimental data measured and the calculated by the NRTL and UNIQUAC models was less than 3%. The binary interaction parameters have been confirmed by GUI-MATLAB.
