We studied on the phase equilibria of quatemary liquid-liquid extraction system composed 2-propanol-water-binary solvent at 25℃. Ethyl acetate(EAc)-toluene was used as binary solvents. Binodal curve, tie-line, distribution and selectivity for quatemary system have been determined in order to investigate the effect of using binary solvent in extracting 2-propanol from aqueous solotion. And this experimental tie-line data was also compared with the values predicted by UNIFAC model. It was shown that UNIFAC model is capable of predicting the tie-line in this quaternary system within an average RMSD of 1.93 mol%.
