COSMO-RS screening for ionic liquid to be applied in extraction of 2-phenylethanol from aqueous solutions

Conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) is presented as thermodynamic predictive tool for calculating liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase diagrams in ternary mixtures {ionic liquid (IL) + 2-phenylethanol (PEA) + water} — a model system of extractive recovery of PEA bioproduced using yeast. Overview of the performance of the model is demonstrated by using the experimental LLE data available in the literature. An effect of...
