Abstract: Ternary phase equilibrium data for acetic acid with water and solvent (n-butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol and amyl alcohol) are presented and used to evaluate the possibility of employing distribution of acetic acid between water and these alcohols as a means of separation of acetic acid from its aqueous solution. Mutual solubility curves, tie-line data, distribution coefficient, selectivity diagrams and separation factor data were determined for these systems. From these data it has been concluded that of these solvents amyl alcohol offers the best hope of achieving separation of acetic acid by distribution between amyl alcohol and water as it has the highest separation factor value than those of other two alcohols.
