Liquid鈥揕iquid Extraction Systems of Benzoic Acid in Water and Heptane, Methylbenzene, or Trichloroethylene as Cosolvent
文摘
Equilibrium data at (293 卤 2) K are presented for benzoic acid in water and three different organic phases (heptane, methylbenzene, and trichloroethylene). The monomeric partition constant, KPMON, and the dimerization constant, KD, for the organic phase were determined at 293 K. For the heptane/water benzoic acid system, KPMON equals (0.209 卤 0.049) m3AQ路m鈥?ORG, and KD equals (1.33 卤 0.68) m3路mol鈥?. For the methylbenzene/water benzoic acid system, KPMON equals (1.17 卤 0.92) m3AQ路m鈥?ORG, and KD equals (0.39 卤 0.64) m3路mol鈥?. For the trichloroethylene/water benzoic acid system, KPMON equals (0.808 卤 0.295) m3AQ路m鈥?ORG, and KD equals (1.18 卤 0.89) m3路mol鈥?. Equilibrium constants were obtained from UV鈥搗is spectroscopy and conductivity experiments. The equilibrium data of these extraction systems can be used to quantify liquid鈥搇iquid mass transfer rates with extraction systems that require low flammability risk (trichloroethylene), low costs (methylbenzene), or setups constructed from polymethyl methacrylate (heptane).
