• Tie-line

The solubility and tie-line data of the ternary system comprising water, formic acid, and methyl isobutyl ketone were experimentally determined at the temperatures 288.15, 298.15, and 308.15K, and atmospheric pressure 101.3kPa. The plait points were also determined using Treybal's method. The results indicate that formic acid distributes preferentially in MIBK compared to water. Experimental tie-line data were regressed with the NRTL model to obtain binary interaction parameters. It is found that the NRTL model correlates the present system satisfactorily with average root-mean-square deviation of 0.34%.
