Liquid Liquid Equilibria for the Extraction of Chloropropanols from 1,2-Dichloropropane Using Water or 1,4-Butylene Glycol
Liquid liquid equilibria (LLE) data for the extraction of chloropropanols from 1,2-dichloropropane using water or 1,4-butylene glycol as solvent at 303.15 and 323.15 K under atmospheric pressure have been determined. The distribution coefficients and separation factors were calculated to assess the effectiveness of extracting chloropropanols from 1,2-dichloropropane, and the consistency of LLE data was verified by the Othmer-Tobias and Hand equations. The binary interaction parameters among these compounds were obtained through correlation of the experimental data with the NRTL and UNIQUAC models; both models were successfully applied to correlate the experimental data of the studied systems, with all the root-mean square deviation (RMSD) values being below 0.01.
