“…Chafer et al 18 measured the LLE data of 2-methyl-2-butanol + water + glycerol at 283.2 and 323.2 K and at atmospheric pressure. Chiou et al 19 investigated the LLE of the ternary system 2methyl-2-butanol + water + diethylene glycol monohexyl ether at 293.15, 303.15, and 313.15 K. Ghanadzadeh et al 20 studied the LLE of 2-methyl-2-butanol + water + phosphoric acid at 298.2 K. Peschke et al 21 reported the LLE of ternary systems of 2-methyl-2-butanol + water + toluene and 2-methyl-2-butanol + water + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane at 298.2 K. The LLE data of the systems 2-methyl-2-butanol + water + solvent in the open literature were not intended to separate 2-methyl-2-butanol and water by extraction. And the reported solvents, glycerol, diethylene glycol monohexyl ether, phosphoric acid, toluene, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, have disadvantages such as corrosion, high viscosity, high boiling point, toxicity, low selectivity, high price, difficulties in succeeding separation process, and so on, which impedes the use of the reported solvents in industry.…”
