Separation of Methanol and MTBE Azeotrope via Choline-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents: Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium and Molecular Mechanism
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is an excellent additive for gasoline. Because of the formation of an azeotropic mixture by MTBE and methanol during its production, it is a challenge to separate the azeotrope. To investigate the effect of hydrogen bond donor (HBD) functional groups on extraction performance, three cho...
