Experimental Mapping of the Liquid–Liquid Envelope of Mixtures Alcohol/Water/Salt at Ambient Conditions (297 K and 1 bar). Alcohols: Ethanol and Isopropanol; Salts: Na2CO3 and K2CO3

Abstract Adding NaCO3 or K2CO3 to a binary mixture ethanol/water or isopropanol/water triggers a liquid–liquid phase split at ambient conditions. One of the phases is rich in alcohol, and the other is rich in water. This phenomenon could be potentially used in the development of...
