Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni convection (RBM convection) induced by the mass transfer has a great influence on the performance of real chemical engineering process. However, the researches of RBM convection characteristics during mass transfer across the interface in liquid-liquid system and their influence on the interface morphology are still limited. In this research, a visualization experiment via the amplified shadowgraph method is conducted to investigate the mass transfer in water-toluene-acetone system in a vertical slit. The convective structure of RBM and its evolution are visually observed. The effects of the initial acetone concentration of aqueous phase and toluene phase, and the thickness of toluene layer on the RBM characteristics and the morphology of the liquid-liquid interface are investigated. The experimental results show that these structures are induced by the interface tension difference along the interface and the vertical density difference caused by non-uniform mass transfer at the interface. As a result of the mass transfer at the interface, the density stratification occurs at the top of the aqueous phase, where the light liquid layer supports heavy one. In addition, non-uniform mass transfer produces perturbation at the top of the aqueous phase, which induces the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the " interface” between the heavy and light liquid layer. Consequently, a wave-shaped-mound " interface” in the upper aqueous phase is formed as the heavy liquid comes down into the light one, and it can be further evolved into a plume flow with the enhancement of the imbalance between density and pressure at the " interface”. Due to the difference in mass transfer characteristic caused by different concentration gradients in the plume " interface”, the plumes can also evolve into weak plumes and strong plumes. Under the large acetone concentration gradient, a number of RBM convective structures are generated near the interface in a short time and the convective cloud is formed due to the dramatic interaction and coalescence between these structures. With the weakening of mass transfer, the convective cloud disappears and the strong plume is gradually formed. In addition, the strength of RBM convection is demonstrated to be positively correlated with the acetone concentration gradient across the aqueous solution- toluene interface. In addition, the roughness of the interface and its unsteady fluctuation grow up with the increase of acetone concentration gradient across the interface.
