Abstract
Olefins and paraffins are important basic chemical raw materials with so similar molecular structure and volatility that their separation is a difficult and energy-consuming process. Liquid—liquid equilibrium (LLE) data were determined for ternary systems of: 1-hexene + hexane + solvent at 25°C, 30°C, and 35°C, and N-formylmorpholine (NFM), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), γ-butyrolactone (GBL), and 1-methylimidazole (1-MEI) as the solvents studied. Liquid—liquid equilibrium data for each system were correlated to the NRTL (Non-Random Two Liquid) equation and the interaction parameters presented. The calculated results agree well with the experimental data.
