N-Formylmorpholine (NFM) has been successfully used in industry for the extraction of aromatics from feedstocks such as fully hydrogenated pyrolysis gasoline, reformate gasoline, and hydrorefined coke oven oil. Liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) for N-formylmorpholine + heptane or + decalin and N-formylmorpholine + decane + benzene or + ethylbenzene over a temperature range of 293-338 K were measured. The results were used to estimate the interaction parameters between a new solvent group, NFM (N-formylmorpholine), and the main groups of CH[sub 2] (paraffinic CH[sub 2]), ACH (aromatic CH), ACCH[sub 2] (aromatic CCH[sub 2]), and CHNA (condensed naphthenic CH) as a function of temperature. The estimated interaction parameters of these groups have been used with other interaction parameters present in the literature to compared calculated values with the experimental LLE equilibrium measurements.
