The separation of benzene and cyclohexane is considered to be one of the most challenging processes in the petrochemical industry. In this paper, low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) were used as solvents for the separation of benzene and cyclohexane. The selected LTTMs were sulfolane–tetrabutylammonium bromide 5:1 and ethylene glycol–trimethylamine hydrochloride 5:1, and liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of benzene–cyclohexane–LTTMs were experimentally determined at 40 °C under a normal atmosphere. Moreover, the effects of the mole ratio of hydrogen bond donor (HBD) sulfolane and hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) tetrabutylammonium bromide on extraction performance were also observed based on the LLE data. It is found that, when the mole ratio of sulfolane to tetrabutylammonium bromide is 5:1, LTTM has the best extraction performance. In addition, the LLE data of the benzene–cyclohexane–LTTMs ternary system were used to fit parameters of the NRTL activity coefficient model. Based on the NRTL model t...
