Abstract

Formamide, N-methylformamide, N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, 1,2-butanediol, and 2-butane-1,4-diol were considered as potential extractants of fatty acids from soybean and jojoba oils. Ternary liquid-liquid phase diagrams at 298.15 K, distribution, and selectivity coefficients of oleic acid are reported. Of the investigated solvents, only N-methylformamide and 1,2-butanediol have desirable extraction characteristics.
