Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium for the Ternary System of Methyl Laurate/Methyl Myristate + Ethanol + Glycerol at 318.15 and 333.15 K

Abstract

In this work, liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the two ternary systems methyl laurate + ethanol + glycerol and methyl myristate + ethanol + glycerol were measured at 318.15 K and 333.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The reliability of the experimental tie-line data was checked by the Othmer–Tobias correlation. The LLE experimental data were correlated with the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model, and the binary interaction parameters were regressed by the data fitting. The correlated results agreed satisfactorily with the experimental results.
