Abstract

In order to separate phenol from water, at 101.3 kPa, the liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) data of water + phenol + solvents (trichloromethane, isoamyl alcohol) were obtained at 298.15, 303.15, and 313.15 K. The ability of the extractant to extract phenol from water was evaluated by the distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity coefficient (S). The Bachman and Hand equations were used to verify the reliability of the LLE data with the linear coefficient was greater than 0.98%. The LLE data was correlated with the NRTL and UNIQUAC models to obtain a binary interaction parameter with an RMSD not greater than 0.36%.
