liquids have
received wide attention as green recyclable extractants. In view of
their broad applicability, in the current work, ionic liquids were
explored for their ability to extract acetone from n-hexane. Based on the conductor-like screening model for the segment
activity coefficient, the surface charge densities of 15 kinds of
cations, 19 kinds of anions, acetone, and n-hexane
were calculated via quantum chemistry approaches. The infinite dilution
activity coefficients of the ionic liquid–acetone–n-hexane system were calculated, and the distribution coefficient
and selectivity of the system were determined. The effective extractants
[1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium
bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate,
and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate] were selected.
The experimental data of the liquid–liquid equilibrium were
correlated by the NRTL and UNIQUAC models. The regression of the experimental
data gave the binary interaction parameters of the two models. In
addition, a process of extracting and separating the n-hexane–acetone azeotrope system using Aspen Plus 8.4 was
proposed and the parameters were analyzed. Based on the NRTL model,
a continuous extraction process using ionic liquids as the extractant
was simulated. Ionic liquids are a promising solvent for the extraction
and separation of acetone and n-hexane.
