To provide basic data for the process design and process simulation calculation of solvent extraction and separation of n-hexane-isopropanol mixture, experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for separation of isopropanol from n-hexane were measured at 30℃ under atmospheric pressure by using dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-butanediol, 1,2-propanediol, acetonitrile, furfural and N,N-dimethylformamide as extractants, respectively. The extraction properties of these selected solvents were assessed by the separation factor based on the experimental LLE data. It was found that separation factor were all higher than 1 with above solvents, corroborating that it is feasible to extract isopropanol from n-hexane using the selected extractants. The consistency and reliability of the experimental data were appraised using the Hand equation, and the correlation coefficients of fitting equations were all above 0.98. Furthermore, the non-random two liquids (NRTL) activity coefficient model in Aspen Plus software was utilized to correlate the experimental tie-line compositions, in which the binary interaction parameters between the components were acquired. Subsequently, the corresponding values of phase equilibrium were calculated and compared with the experimental data. As a result, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the calculated and experimental compositions was below 1.0%, indicating that the NRTL model can accurately describe the liquid-liquid phase equilibrium of the ternary system. © All Right Reserved.
