Liquid−liquid equilibria for the three ternary systems (dodecane + toluene + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate ([EMIM][MeSO 4 ])), (dodecane + thiophene + [EMIM][MeSO 4 ]) and (dodecane + pyridine + [EMIM][MeSO 4 ]) were measured at 298.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. Experimental data were used to calculate the distribution coefficient and selectivity values. Results indicate that [EMIM][MeSO 4 ] is a potential solvent for the extraction of pyridine from n-dodecane. It was found that NTRL and UNIQUAC models can used to represent with good accuracy ternary systems containing [EMIM][MeSO 4 ]. Then, we have shown that [EMIM][MeSO 4 ] can be used as solvent for the extraction of pyridine from a synthetic mixture.
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.
