Abstract
The experimental liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) for several systems containing benzene or thiophene + cyclohexane or hexadecane + choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) including mono-, di-, and triethanolamines and mono-, di-, and triethylene glycols were measured at T = 298.15 to 308.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The distribution coefficients (β) and selectivities (S) were calculated to evaluate the efficiency of the studied solvents for aromatics (benzene or thiophene) extraction from nonaromatic phases. Generally, the selectivity values decrease with increasing of the temperature for our studied DESs. The Othmer–Tobias equation was used to ensure the consistency of the obtained LLE data. The nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) and universal quasi-chemical (UNIQUAC) models were used to correlate the experimental LLE data. The Hansen solubility parameters confirm the performance of the studied DESs for benzene and thiophene extraction. The measured LLE data in this study shows better performance ...
