Separation of Hydrocarbons by Means of Liquid-Liquid Extraction with Deep Eutectic Solvents

, , &
 

Abstract

Liquid-liquid equilibria for six ternary systems with choline chloride urea or choline chloride glycerol (molar ratio, 1:2) as selective solvent were experimentally determined at atmospheric pressure and 25°C. Equilibrium data were presented with tie lines. Extraction experiments with three-component systems were performed. The suitability of deep eutectic solvents for the separation of pyridine and toluene from n-hexane, and n-butanol from toluene was evaluated in terms of properties of solvents, solute distribution ratio, and extraction efficiency. Choline chloride glycerol has a better potential for separation of pyridine from its mixture with n-hexane. The equilibrium data were well described with the NRTL model.
