RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 (Liquid+liquid) equilibrium at T=298.15K for ternary mixtures of alkane+aromatic compounds+imidazolium-based ionic liquids A1 Domínguez, Irene A1 Requejo, Patricia F. A1 Canosa, José A1 Domínguez, Ángeles K1 Ionic liquid K1 LLE K1 [PMim][NTf2] K1 [BMim][NTf2] K1 Alkane K1 Aromatic AB Ionic liquids, with their unique and tunable properties, can be an advantageous alternative as extractive solvents in separation processes involving systems containing aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. In this work, (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary systems {nonane (1) + benzene (2) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [BMim][NTf2] (3)}, {octane (1) + benzene (2) + 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [PMim][NTf2] (3)}, and {nonane (1) + aromatic compound (benzene or toluene or ethylbenzene) (2) + [PMim][NTf2] (3)} were determined at T = 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Selectivity and solute distribution ratio, derived from the equilibrium data, were used to determine if this ionic liquid can be considered as a potential solvent for the separation of aromatic compounds (benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene) from alkanes (octane and nonane). The experimental data were satisfactorily correlated with NRTL and UNIQUAC models.
