Abstract: Liquid-liquid equilibrium(LLE)data have been determined for the n-butyl alcohol-water-butyl acetateternary system and the related binary systems at 293.15,303.15 and 313.15 K.The experimentally determinedLLE data for the n-butyl alcohol-water binary system have been found to be in satisfactory agreementwith the available literature data.The correlation and prediction of the LLE data have been done byusing NRTL and UNIQUAC models.The model parameters of binary systems have been identified witha thermodynamic criterion.In the correlation of ternary LLE data,two objective functions(mole fractionand distribution constant)have been used for purpose of comparison.The effect of weighting in the firstobjective function has been examined.In predicting the ternary LLE with different sets of parameter valuesobtained for each of the constitutent binary systems,improved prediction results have been obtained bycomparing the results of different combinations of the sets of parameter values and choosing those givingthe best result.
