Hybrid of extraction and distillation is considered to be a comparatively effective method because of it is expected has lower energy cost. Design of extractor and determining the optimum stage for obtaining the desired components require the knowledge of LLE data. Binary parameters in activity coefficient models for several components are not available. The experimental data was regressed using the models to obtain the binary parameters. The binary parameter data is essential in the simulation, design, and optimization. . LLE EXPERIMENTAL AND DATA PROCESS DEVELOPMENT REGRESSION Extract: AA Rich Phase Feed: Water, AA, PX Raffinate: Water Rich Phase Solvent: MA or EA Aspen Plus was used for mathematical modelling to build up the regression parameter. This software was used due to flexibility for doing simulation in further steps. Fig. 2 showed the flowchart of data regression from LLE experiments to get the predicted data.
