Liquid-liquid equilibrium data for the furfural-refined oil system, considered to be pseudoternary, were obtained at different temperatures in the 335-402 K range. Type I isotherms were observed at all temperatures for the two crude oils used: Kirkuk and Light Arabia. Tie-line compositions were correlated by the reduced Eisen-Joffe equation. Reliability of data was ascertained through Othmer-Tobias plots. The binodal curves and the tie-lines were predicted using the NRTL model with an average error lower than S%. The viability of the simulation of the industrial extraction process using our experimental data has been proved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
