Abstract
Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) of different molecular weights (600, 1500, 3000, 6000) + sodium formate (NaCHO2), potassium formate (KCHO2) + water at different temperatures (298.15 and 308.15 K) and for PEG (1500) + sodium formate + water at different pH values (8.05, 9.06, 10.92), were determined experimentally. The tie lines and plait point are reported at different PEG molecular weight, pH, temperature and type of cation. Furthermore, the effect of those parameters on binodal curve, tie-line length (TLL) and slope of tie line (STL) are discussed in detail by comparing the results to that of literature data. The effective excluded volume (EEV) values obtained from the LLE data were used to study the effect of the parameters on the binodal curves. The phase composition and the tie-lines’ ends were obtained by measuring the density (ρ) and refractive index (nD). Furthermore, the binodal curves and the tie-line compositions were well-fitted by using some semi empirical equations.
