For separating the special phenolic compound 2,6-xylenol from the model coal tar, the liquid–liquid equilibrium data regarding the four mixtures (toluene + 2,6-xylenol + glycerol/ethylene glycol/1,4-butanediol/1,3-propanediol) were measured at 303.15 K under pressure 0.1 MPa. The separation performance of the selected solvents was assessed by distribution coefficient (D) and separation factor (S). The experimental and calculated results showed that glycerol and ethylene glycol were suitable solvents. Meanwhile, the reliability of the measured data was checked by the Hand and Othmer–Tobias methods. In addition, the NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were adopted to correlate the experimental data with the calculated values of root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and absolute average relative deviation (AARD) lower than 0.01. The consistency of the regressed binary interaction parameters was verified using a tool GUI-MATLAB.

Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary mixture of water + 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propanol (TFP) + {1-pentanol or 2-ethyl-1-hexanol or n-propyl acetate or dichloromethane} was measured in 101.3 KPa and 303.2 K. The distribution coefficient and separation factor appraised utility for extracting TFP from water. The experimental LLE data were related by the nonrandom two liquid and universal quasichemical models for which the absolute average deviation and root means square deviation were no more than 0.0029 and 0.0035, respectively.
