Abstract (EN): This work reports liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) results for the ternary systems {cyclooctane + benzene + 1-ethyl-3-methylpyridinium ethylsulfate}, {cyclooctane + toluene + 1-ethyl- 3-methylpyridinium ethylsulfate}, and {cyclooctane + ethylbenzene + 1-ethyl-3-methylpyridinium ethylsulfate} at T = 298.15K and under atmospheric pressure. The selectivity, percent removal of aromatic, and distribution coefficient ratio, derived from the tie-line data, were calculated to determine if this ionic liquid is a good solvent for the extraction of aromatics from cyclooctane. The phase diagrams for the ternary systems are shown, and the tie-lines correlated with the NRTL model have been compared with the experimental data. The consistency of the experimental LLE data was ascertained using the Othmer–Tobias and Hand equations. No data for mixtures presented here have been found in the literature.
