Liquid−liquid equilibrium data and phase diagram corresponding to new (salt + salt) aqueous biphasic system composed of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide and trisodium citrate were determined by varying temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effects of temperature and salt induced on the binodals and
tie -
line s of the investigated ATPS were also studied. It was found that an increase in temperature caused the expansion of the two-phase region and increased the
slope and the length of the
tie line . In order to obtain further evidence about the salting-out effect produced by the addition of trisodium citrate, Na
3 Cit to an aqueous solution of water-miscible tetra-n-butylammonium bromide, volumetric and compressibility behavior have been measured at temperatures (298.15 K–318.15 K). The densi
tie s and speeds of sound data have been utilized to calculate apparent molar volumes,
V ϕ , the apparent molar isentropic compressibility,
κ ϕ , the values of the apparent molar quantity at infinite dilution,
