In this paper, the separation of toluene from cycloalkanes by liquid extraction using the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, [EMim][ESO4], as solvent was studied. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for ternary systems {cyclohexane, or cyclooctane, or methylcyclohexane + toluene + [EMim][ESO4]} were determined at T = 298.15K and atmospheric pressure. Selectivity and solute distribution ratio, derived from the tie-lines, were used to determine the ability of this ionic liquid as solvent for the separation of toluene from its mixtures with cycloalkanes. The degree of consistency of the tie-lines was tested using the Othmer-Tobias equation, and the experimental LLE data were correlated using the non-random two-liquid (NRTL) and the UNIversal QUAsi-Chemical (UNIQUAC) models.
