Measurement and Thermodynamic Modeling of Ternary (Liquid + Liquid) Equilibrium for Extraction of N,N-Dimethylacetamide from Aqueous Solution with Different Solvents

Abstract

Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the water + N,N-dimethylacetamide + solvents (chloroform, methyl isobutyl carbinol, methyl isobutyl ketone, isopropyl acetate, or isopropyl ether) ternary systems were determined at 308.2 and 298.2 K and at 101.3 kPa. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were calculated to evaluate the effectiveness of extracting N,N-dimethylacetamide from aqueous solution. The Othmer–Tobias equation and the Hand equation were used to confirm the reliability of the experimental LLE data. The experimental data were correlated by thermodynamic nonrandom two-liquid and universal quasichemical models, and the binary interaction parameter values were obtained from the data correlation.
