Low temperature coal tar contained a large amount of phenols
aromatic hydrocarbons and alkanes; the separation of phenols from coal tar has a great significance to the deep processing of coal tar. In this work
the separation of
m
-cresol from cumene and
n
-heptane by liquid-liquid extraction using ionic liquids (ILs) as extractants was studied. The suitable ILs were screened by conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) model and the liquid-liquid phase equilibrium (LLE) experiments were to verify the accuracy of the screening results. The extraction conditions such as extraction time
extraction temperature and mass ratio of ILs to model oils were evaluated. An internal mechanism of the
m
-cresol extract by ILs was revealed by COSMO-RS calculation and FT-IR. The results showed that the selected ILs can extract
m
-cresol effectively from cumene and
n
-heptane
1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (emimCH
3
COO) was the best extraction solvent. A hydrogen bond between anion of ILs and phenolic hydroxyl groups was observed. M-cresol in model oils could be extracted with extraction efficiencies up to 98.85% at an
emimCH
3
COO:model oils mass ratio of 0.5 and 298.15 K
emimCH
3
COO could be regenerated and reused for 4 cycles without obvious decreases in extraction efficiency and extractant mass.
