Abstract :
A systematic investigation of the phase behaviour involving microemulsions is presented with respect to experimental and calculated data for the four-component system n-decyl-β-d-glucopyranoside/water/n-contane/1-butanol and its corresponding ternaries at 25°C. The main feature of this kind of multicomponent system is the coexistence of a highly structural liquid phase enriched with amphilic compounds and an excess water or an excess oil phase or both of them. The phase behaviour was studied experimentally by use of turbidity titration and HPLC measurements and theoretically by application of the UNIQUAC-equation and the UNIFAC-method. The UNIFAC-method is able to describe the phase behaviour in the quaternary system qualitatively, without fitting parameters. However, by applying the UNIQUAC-method, with adjustable parameters, it was only possible to model the ternary subsystems. The modelling of the quaternary system is not satisfactory.
