Liquid-Liquid Equilibria for Linalool in Aqueous Alcohol Mixtures

Liquid-liquid equilibrium tie-line data were examined at atmospheric pressure and at 298.15 K for ternary mixtures of (water + methanol + linalool) as well as (water + ethanol + linalool). The distribution ratios of alcohol between organic and aqueous phases are discussed. The immiscible area of (water + methanol + linalool) system is wider than that for the ethanol system. The experimental liquid liquid equilibrium data were satisfactorily fitted by means of an extended UNIQUAC model.
