“…However, the COSMO-SAC model predicts LLE experiments requiring only initial feed point data, which saves the experiment time and difficulty. Previously, many papers reported prediction of LLE experiments using COSMO-SAC model and achieved good results. ,, On the basis of COSMO-SAC theory, the activity factor of solute i in solvent S (γ i/S ) can be calculated bywhere Δ G * res denotes the restoring free energy from the chemical potential of segment in the COSMO-RS model, γ i/S SG is calculated by the Staverman–Guggenheim combinatorial term.…”
Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) had been successfully employed to extract phenols from coal gasification wastewater since 2009, and it has been proved to be an excellent extraction solvent. In this work, the liquid−liquid equilibrium (LLE) data were measured for the ternary systems MIBK + 2,3-/3,4-/3,5dimethylphenol + water from 298.15 to 343.15 K. High partition coefficient and separation factor indicated that MIBK could extract dimethylphenols from an aqueous solution well. The Hand equation and the Bachman equation were used for testing the consistency of the determined tie-line data. The NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were utilized to correlate these measured LLE data, and their root-mean-square deviations did not exceed 0.5%. The conductor-like screening model for segment activity coefficient was employed to predict the LLE data. Results showed that the prediction values are close to the measured data.

“…Screening of ILs for extraction processes by experimental investigation is quite lengthy and uneconomical due to their availability in an enormous number, which can be overcome through the applications of thermodynamic models due to they are capable of predicting the activity coefficient, VLE and LLE data and so all. 29 Generally speaking, the most widely used models for VLE and LLE prediction in ILs include Wilson, 30 universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC), 31 non-random two-liquid (NRTL), 32 UNIFAC and modified UNIFAC models. The modified Flory–Huggins equation and a lattice model based on polymer solution models are also adopted to well-describe the phase diagrams.…”
“…It can also handle variation in concentration and temperature. 16 Maurer designed a model of the liquid-liquid equilibrium for the recovery of carboxylic acids from aqueous solutions. The separation is driven by the affinity to the organic phase of the weak complex formed between a carboxylic acid and an amine.…”
The countercurrent liquid-liquid extraction is a crucial step in industrial process to purify and extract a compound of inter-ests for its impurities. This step requires generally challenging and time-consuming optimisation of numerous factors that affect the overall yield of extraction and the energy needed. The simulation of this process has been investigated in this pa-per using a Non-Random Two Liquid model implemented as a thermodynamic method in Aspen. The outcome of this model enables the evaluation of the partition coefficients of the different analytes of a mixtures at the different compart-ments of extraction platform. In addition, this steady-state model allows a more straightforward optimisation of the factors that drive the performance of extraction.
