Solubility and Tie Line Data for Ternary System of (water + phenol + isobutyl acetate) at T=308.2 k

Abstract

Abstract-This study demonstrates experimental solubility and tie-line data for the (water + phenol + isobutyl acetate) system at T = 308.2 K and atmospheric pressure. This ternary system exhibits type-2 behavior of LLE. To evaluate the extracting capability of the solvent, distribution coefficients and separation factors were calculated. The consistency of the experimental data was determined through the Othmer-Tobias and Bachman equations. The experimental data were correlated using the NRTL and UNIQUAC models, and binary interaction parameters were obtained. The average root mean square deviation values between the experimental and calculated data show the capability of these models.
