Coal tar is a liquid byproduct of the process of coal
gasification and carbonation. This liquid oil mixture contains various
kinds of useful compounds such as phenol, ocresol, and pcresol.
These compounds are widely used as raw material for insecticides,
dyes, medicines, perfumes, coloring matters, and many others.
This research needed to be done that given the optimum conditions
for the separation of phenol, ocresol, and pcresol from the coal tar
by solvent extraction process. The aim of the present work was to
study the effect of two kinds of aqueous were used as solvents
methanol and acetone solutions, the effect of temperature (298, 306,
and 313K) and mixing (30, 35, and 40rpm) for the separation of
phenol, ocresol, and pcresol from coal tar by solvent extraction.
Results indicated that phenol, ocresol, and pcresol in coal tar
were selectivity extracted into the solvent phase and these
components could be separated by solvent extraction. The aqueous
solution of methanol, mass ratio of solvent to feed, EoRo1,
extraction temperature 306K and mixing 35 rpm were the most
efficient for extraction of phenol, ocresol, and pcresol from coal tar.
