Experimental study of liquid–liquid equilibriam for the ternary systems of water, 1,2-Dimethoxyethane and four solvents at 303.2 K

The liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of water + 1,2-Dimethoxyethane (DME) + {isopropyl ether, 1-hexanol, n-heptanol and 4-methyl-2-pentanol (MIBC)} was measured at 303.2 K under 101.3 kPa. The distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity factor (S) based on the experimental data were calculated, and use this to evaluate the extraction effect of the four solvents. Using two thermodynamic models of NRTL and UNIQUAC to fit the experimental data, and obtained the binary interaction parameters. The root means square deviation (RMSD) of the fitting results were all less than 0.75%. The GUI-MATLAB tools were applied to verify the consistency of the binary interaction parameters.
