Interfacial tension and phase properties of water – Hydrotrope – Oil solutions: Water – 2-butoxyethanol – Toluene

Recent advances in hydrotropic solvent systems for lignocellulosic biomass utilization

“…For example, when comparing two hydrotropes, tert -butanol (TBA) and 2-butoxyethanol (BEG) in a water-toluene system, TBA showed higher toluene phase separation than BEG. 74 Since the phase separation to toluene in the water-toluene system indicates the hydrophobicity of the hydrotropes, TBA has a higher hydrophobicity. The water-phase separation occurred more with BEG, indicating its relatively higher hydrophilicity.…”

Dataset for the interfacial tension and phase properties of the ternary system water – 2-butoxyethanol – toluene

“…The obtained data can be used to prepare the two-phase samples with desired properties, design the oil-water separation processes, and develop new oil spill dispersants containing 2-butoxyethanol. This article is a co-submission with a paper [1] .…”
