The LLE data bank contains a large amount of liquid-liquid equilibrium data and liquid solubility data for binary and
higher systems. It is of great importance for extraction (distribution of a component between two liquid phases in equilibrium) and in case of other
unit operations involving immiscible systems. The LLE data bank is required by the process synthesis software for the selection of solvents for
liquid-liquid extraction using DDB.
Besides data for ternary and higher mixtures typically used for
the design of extraction processes, the data bank contains a huge amount of
information on mutual solubility as function of temperature and pressure. In
case of low mutual solubility, activity coefficients at infinite dilution can
directly be calculated from the solubility data.
Several different possibilities for the change of the immiscible
region with temperature are given in the plot below together with the component
combinations depicted in these examples. All data were taken from the DDB-LLE
data bank.

LLE contains 22,692 data sets (189,676 data points) from 3,502 references for 2,055 components and
8,139 different
systems (9,926 binary, 11,734 ternary, 960 quaternary and 72 higher systems)(Version 2011).
