Abstract: Influence of inorganic salts on the system of liquid phase equilibrium of water + furfuryl alcohol + cyclopentanone at 298.2 K was studied. Different salt concentrations (0, 1 and 2 wt%) and the type of salt (LiCl, NaCl, KCl, and RbCl) were investigated. The results showed that the two-phase region of the ternary system enlarged by addition of salt. NRTL model was applied, and good correlation between the experimental data and the model was achieved as confirmed by the low rmsd values.

Keywords: Salt effect ; Furfuryl alcohol ; Cyclopentanone ; Liquid–liquid equilibrium ; Tie-line data
