The study of chemical reactions in multiple liquid phase systems is becoming more and more relevant in industry and academia. The ability to predict combined chemical and phase equilibria is interesting from a scientific point of view but is also crucial to design innovative separation processes. In this work, an algorithm to perform the combined chemical and liquid–liquid phase equilibrium calculation was implemented in the PC-SAFT framework in order to predict the thermodynamic equilibrium behavior of two multicomponent esterification systems. Esterification reactions involve hydrophobic reacting agents and water, which might cause liquid–liquid phase separation along the reaction coordinate, especially if long-chain alcoholic reactants are used. As test systems, the two quaternary esterification systems starting from the reactants acetic acid + 1-pentanol and from the reactants acetic acid + 1-hexanol were chosen. It is known that both quaternary systems exhibit composition regions of overlapped chemical and liquid–liquid equilibrium. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that PC-SAFT was used to calculate simultaneous chemical and liquid–liquid equilibria. All the binary subsystems were studied prior to evaluating the predictive capability of PC-SAFT toward the simultaneous chemical equilibria and phase equilibria. Overall, PC-SAFT proved its excellent capabilities toward predicting chemical equilibrium composition in the homogeneous composition range of the investigated systems as well as liquid–liquid phase behavior. This study highlights the potential of a physical sound model to perform thermodynamic-based modeling of chemical reacting systems undergoing liquid–liquid phase separation.

“…Noriega and Narváez [22] correlated the UNIFAC model from experimental data in order to accurately describe and predict the liquid-liquid equlibrium of the systems involved in the biodiesel process. However, there are few studies on liquid-liquid equilibrium for ternary systems containing pure esters, including ethyl palmitate + ethanol + glycerol [23], methyl oleate + methanol + water [24]. Thus, experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium data of systems involving pure fatty acid esters (such as methyl palmitate) are scarce in the literature, requiring more robust and conclusive studies [25].…”

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data were measured and analyzed for two ternary systems (biodiesel + methanol + glycerol and methyl palmitate + methanol + glycerol). Biodiesel, produced by the conventional chemical route at 60 °C for 60 min, using methanol and soybean oil at a molar rate of 10:1 and potassium hydroxide concentration (KOH) of 1 wt% exhibited thermal decomposition at temperatures between 100 and 250 ºC, reaching mass loss of approximately 98.8%, confirming soybean oil conversion into biodiesel by gas chromatography and thermogravimetry. Tie line composition quality was verified using Othmer-Tobias and Hand correlation equations. The distribution and selectivity coefficients were calculated for the immiscibility regions. The experimental tie line data exhibited good correlation in the UNIQUAC and NRTL thermodynamic models. The biodiesel system displayed deviations of 0.66 and 0.53% for the UNIQUAC and NRTL models, respectively. In addition, the methyl palmitate system showed a 1.23 and 0.48% deviation for the UNIQUAC and NRTL model, respectively. The individual behavior of the main biodiesel esters , based on the UNIQUAC model parameters, demonstrated that the type of fatty acid does not interfere in model correlation, likely due to the similarity between their composition and properties.
