Abstract

Liquid–liquid equilibria of the methanol + ethylbenzene + methylcyclohexane ternary system are reported at 278.15, 283.15, and 293.15 K. The effect of the temperature on the liquid–liquid equilibrium is discussed. All chemical concentrations were quantified by gas chromatography using a thermal conductivity detector. Experimental data for the ternary system are compared with values calculated by the NRTL and UNIQUAC equations. It was found that both equations gave comparable quality representations of the experimental data for this ternary system. Distribution curves were also analyzed. Data for the ternary system is available from the literature at 303.15 K.
