The experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for six ternary systems containing (chloroform+ propionic acid+water), (chloroform+acetic acid+water), (diethyl ether+propionic acid+water), (diethyl ether+acetic acid+water), (trichloroethylene+propionic acid+water) and (trichloroethylene+acetic acid+water) were measured at 288.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. An accurate and simple titration method was used for determining of the concentration of carboxylic acid in the both liquid phases at equilibrium. The reliability of the experimental tie-line data was confirmed by using the Othmer-Tobias correlation. The distribution coefficients and selectivity factors were presented to evaluate the efficiency of the solvents for extraction of carboxylic acid from water. The results show that chloroform and diethyl ether are satisfactory solvents for extraction of carboxylic acids from water. Trichloroethylene separates propionic acid from water; however, it cannot be used as a solvent for separation of acetic acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
