TL;DR: In this paper, a model developed from thermodynamic principles for correlating phase behavior of two-and three-phase systems is described, based on the representation of excess Gibbs energy with the UNIQUAC equation.
Abstract: This paper describes a model developed from thermodynamic principles for correlating phase behavior of two-and three-phase systems. The model is based on the representation of excess Gibbs energy with the UNIQUAC equation. A set of computational algorithms is described for estimating the UNIQUAC model parameters from regression of the equilibrium phase data and for predicting phase behavior throughout the entire composition range. The model has been tested for ternary systems and a pseudoternary system. Agreement between the measured and predicted data was excellent for most systems studies. The model was able to match the ternary phase behavior of two- and three-liquid-phase systems that have not been previously simulated. For ternary systems, the estimated UNIQUAC parameters from correlation of the three-phase tie-triangle data describe the phase behavior in both two- and three-phase regions.

TL;DR: In this article, a suitable extraction process for separating ethanol and water using dichloromethane as the solvent has been chosen, and the design calculations have been carried out to determine the energetic requirements.
Abstract: Liquid-liquid equilibrium data for the ternary system water-ethanol-dichloromethane have been determined experimentally at 25/sup 0/C and correlated simultaneously with vapor-liquid equilibrium data by using the UNIQUAC model. A suitable extraction process for separating ethanol and water using dichloromethane as the solvent has been chosen, and the design calculations have been carried out to determine the energetic requirements. The properties that another solvent should offer to decrease these energetic requirements have been studied.

TL;DR: For the separation of fusel oil from low-concentration fermentation broths, ternary liquid-liquid equilibria at 323.2 K were measured for the systems of water and 1, 1-difluoroethane with alcohols as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: For the separation of fusel oil from low-concentration fermentation broths, ternary liquid-liquid equilibria at 323.2 K were measured for the systems of water and 1, 1-difluoroethane with alcohols (l-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-pentanol). The liquefied gas 1, 1-difluoroethane can achieve much higher distribution coefficients of l-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-pentanol than ethanol. Therefore, 1-propanol, 1-butanol and 1-pentanol will be selectively removed from low-concentration ethanol aqueous solutions with liquefied 1, 1-difluoroethane at low solvent ratios. The liquid-liquid equilibrium data were correlated by the UNIQUAC and NRTL equations. The UNIQUAC equation gave better correlation of the experimental data than did the NRTL equation. However, the two-phase regions estimated by the UNIQUAC equation were larger than the experimental results for the systems of water + 1-propanol + 1, 1-difluoroethane and water + 1-pentanol + 1, 1-difluoroethane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used NRTL and UNIQUAC models to predict the ternary liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the n-butyl alcohol-water, butyl acetate and related binary systems at 293.15,303.15 and 313.15 K.
Abstract: Liquid-liquid equilibrium(LLE)data have been determined for the n-butyl alcohol-water-butyl acetate ternary system and the related binary systems at 293.15,303.15 and 313.15 K.The experimentally determined LLE data for the n-butyl alcohol-water binary system have been found to be in satisfactory agreement with the available literature data.The correlation and prediction of the LLE data have been done by using NRTL and UNIQUAC models.The model parameters of binary systems have been identified with a thermodynamic criterion.In the correlation of ternary LLE data,two objective functions(mole fraction and distribution constant)have been used for purpose of comparison.The effect of weighting in the first objective function has been examined.In predicting the ternary LLE with different sets of parameter values obtained for each of the constitutent binary systems,improved prediction results have been obtained by comparing the results of different combinations of the sets of parameter values and choosing those giving the best result.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of addition of four halogen salts (KF, NaCl, NaBr, NaI) to benzene-water-n-propanol system were considered.
Abstract: Binodal curves, tie lines, and plait points for benzenehalogen salt solutions-n-propanol systems were determined, and Othmer-Tobias equation was employed for a system without salt and Eisen-Joffe equation for systems with salt to test consistency. Halogen salt solutions were prepared with aqueous solution of 5% KF, 5% NaCl, 5% NaBr and 5% NaI, respectively. Compositions of two splitting phases on liquid-liquid equilibria(L-L-E) condition were calculated and the parameters were estimated by correlating experimental tie lines with the NRTL and the UNIQUAC (or modified UNIQUAC) models. The effects of addition of four halogen salts (KF, NaCl, NaBr, NaI) to benzene-water-n-propanol system were considered.
