Calibration Curve: RI 0.0006 Vol% + 1.3329 R 0.995 1.355 1.36 1.365

The document contains calibration data and curves for measuring the refractive index of ethanol-water and ethanol-trichloromethane mixtures using a refractometer. Table 1 shows the refractive index values at different ethanol concentrations for each mixture. Figure 1 and the second table show the linear calibration curves plotted between refractive index and ethanol concentration, with R2 values close to 1 indicating a good fit for the data. The last table presents sample runs measuring refractive index at different flow rates of a feed, solvent, and resulting extract and raffinate streams.
