Abstract

We reported the phase separation measurements of mixtures obtained from choline, tetramethylammonium and tetraethylammonium chlorides with methacrylic (MAA), butyric (BA) and isobutyric (IBA) acids as solvents. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) experiments were performed under atmospheric pressure in a temperature range of 287–403 K using cloud-point method and the data were correlated with the Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) solution model. The density, the viscosity, the Kamlet-Taft and the solvent polarity (ET(30)) parameters were measured for coexisting liquid phases. The applicability of the obtained binary biphasic system in extraction process, particularly purification of MAA from a phenolic inhibitor, was demonstrated.
