Measurement and correlation of phase equilibrium data of the mixtures consisting of butyric acid, water, cyclohexanone at different temperatures
In this work, experimental solubility and tie-line data for the (water + butyric acid + cyclohexanone) system were obtained at T = (298.2, 308.2, and 318.2) K and atmospheric pressure. The ternary system investigated exhibits type-1 behavior of LLE. The experimental tie-line data were compared with those correlated by the UNIQUAC and NRTL models. The consistency of the experimental tie-line data was determined through the Othmer Tobias and Hand correlation equations. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were evaluated over the immiscibility regions. A comparison of the extracting capability of the solvent at different temperatures was made with respect to separation factors. The Katritzky and Kamlet-Abboud-Taft multiparameter scales were applied to correlate distribution coefficients and separation factors in this ternary system. The LSER models values were interpreted in terms of intermolecular interactions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
