Liquid-liquid equilibria for quaternary mixtures of nonane plus undecane plus (benzene or toluene or m-xylene) plus sulfolane at 298.15 and 313.15 K
Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data were measured for three quaternary systems containing sulfolane, nonane + undecane + benzene + sulfolane, nonane + undecane + toluene + sulfolane and nonane + undecane + m-xylene + sulfolane, at T = 298.15 and 313.15 K and ambient pressure. The experimental quaternary liquid-liquid equilibrium data have been satisfactorily represented by using NRTL and UNIFAC-LLE models for the activity coefficient. The calculated compositions based on the NRTL model were found to in a better agreement with the experiment than those based on the UNIFAC-LLE model. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
