For the separation of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol in water, two alcohols and two ketones were chosen as extractants for experiments at 101.3 kPa and 298.2 K. The liquid−liquid equilibrium data for water + 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol + (4-methyl-2-pentanol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, and benzyl alcohol) were measured under these conditions. The separation effects of the four solvents were assessed by the distribution coefficient (D) and the separation factor (S). Meantime, the interaction parameters were obtained by fitting the experimental data using NRTL and UNIQUAC models, and both values of AAD and rmsd were less than 0.43%. The GUI-MATLAB series of topological analysis tools were used to check the accuracy of the measured values with the binary interaction parameters.

Ternary liquid–liquid phase equilibrium (LLE) data of water + 3-pentanone + extractants (methyl tert-butyl ether, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, o-xylene, ethyl acetate) were measured to separate 3-pentanone of high purity from aqueous solutions at 308.2 K under 101.3 kPa. The ability to extract 3-pentanone from aqueous solutions was assessed by distribution coefficient (D) and separation factor (S). Hand and Bachman equations tested the reliability of the experimental data with linear coefficients (R 2) not less than 0.99. Meanwhile, UNIQUAC and NRTL thermodynamic models regressed experimentally measured data to get the optimal binary interaction parameters, and the root mean square deviation (RMSD) was not more than 0.4%. The GUI-MATLAB program verified the consistency of binary parameters obtained from the NRTL model well.

To recover 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and 1,2-propanediol from waste polyester alcoholysis products, liquid−liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the ternary system of 2ethyl-1-hexanol + 1,2-propanediol + (water, n-heptane) at different temperatures (303.2, 313.2, and 323.2 K) were studied at 101.3 kPa. The distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity coefficient (S) were used as indicators to assess the separation effect. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate the experimental data and the root mean square deviation (RMSD) values were calculated to be less than 0.75 and 0.97%, respectively. Finally, the consistency between the experimental data and the regression parameters was verified using the GUI-MATLAB tool. σ-Profiles are used to discuss the interactions of substances in this work. It was found that both extractants could separate and extract 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and 1,2-propanediol effectively, with water being more effective.

In this work, the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of the ternary mixtures of water + o-cresol + solvents (mesityl oxide or n-propyl acetate) were measured at 303.2, 313.2, and 323.2 K under 101.3 kPa. The distribution coefficients (D) and separation factors (S) were used to evaluate the effect of extracting o-Cresol from water and the high D and S values indicated that the two solvents are promising. At the same time, the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate experimental data, and obtain regression parameters with the root mean square (RMSD) values less than 0.50%. In addition, the GUI-MATLAB tool was used to verify the good reliability of the regression parameters.
