Liquid-liquid equilibrium for ternary methyl tert-amyl ether plus phenol plus water system at 283.15, 298.15, and 313.15 K

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data have been measured for the ternary MTAE + phenol + water system at 283.15, 298.15, and 313.15 K. Experimental results show that the temperature increase leads to a decrease in phenol distribution coefficient. At a temperature of 298.15 K, the maximum achieved value of distribution coefficient is 46.5. The NRTL model was applied to correlate the experimental data. The obtained experimental data were compared with the literature data for the same ternary systems with the use of methyl isobutyl ketone, butyl acetate, and methyl tert-butyl ether as extractants.
