Liquid-liquid equilibrium for the system of ionic liquid [BMIm][HSO 4 ] catalysed isobutyl isobutyrate formation

Isobutyl isobutyrate is an important chemical which can be formed in a reactive extraction process with ionic liquid as dual solvent-catalyst. To design such an intensified process, the liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) data for the esterification system involving ionic liquid are essential. In this work, the LLE of ternary systems {isobutyl isobutyrate (IBIBE) + isobutyric acid (IBAc) or isobutanol (IBOH) + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen...
