Abstract
A process for separating ethanol and water by liquid-liquid extraction using vegetable oils as solvents is presented. Effects of various fac tors such as temperature, time, feed concentration and phase ratio on the amount of extraction have been studied. Effects of cooling tempera ture and cooling time on the recovery of ethanol from oil have also be en studied. The maximum extraction has been observed within 5 min of c ontact time at 95-degrees-C. Recovery of ethanol from oil has been fou nd to increase with cooling.
