liquid–liquid equilibria of three
solutions (water + trimethylolpropane (TMP) + 2-ethylhexanol, water
+ TMP + octan-1-ol, and water + TMP + 2-ethylhexanol + formaldehyde)
were studied at 298.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The consistency
of the measured tie-line data was evaluated using the Othmer–Tobias,
Bachman, and Hand equations. The properties of solvents, such as distribution
constants, separation factors, and insolubilities, were examined in
the ternary and quaternary liquid–liquid equilibrium systems.
NRTL and UNIQUAC models were used to regress the ternary and quaternary
systems and calculate binary interaction parameters. Finally, a comparison
of experimental and calculated data, using the NRTL and UNIQUAC models,
was performed.
