The separation of acetone from chloroform is difficult because the highly nonideal vapor–liquid equilibrium produces a maximum-boiling azeotrope. An earlier paper (Luyben, W. L. (2008). Control of the maximum-boiling acetone/chloroform azeotropic distillation system. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 47, 6140–6149) discussed the use of extractive distillation for making this separation. This paper studies the use of pressure-swing distillation for making the same separation.Results show that the extractive distillation process is much more attractive from the standpoint of both capital investment and energy consumption. But pressure-swing distillation avoids the potential problem of product contamination by the extractive solvent that must be added to the binary system. 相似文献
萃取精馏是强化分离的有效方法,选用不同的萃取剂对萃取精馏过程的可行性和经济性有很大影响。探索性地使用分子模拟软件Material Studio 计算二元物系的混合能来作为萃取剂优劣的判据。以苯和环己烷为待分离物系,选择多种溶剂作为萃取剂,计算萃取剂分子与苯分子之间的混合能以及萃取剂分子与环己烷分子之间的混合能,并计算2个混合能的差值。以文献报导的选择性和以热力学NRTL方程计算无限稀释活度系数得到的选择性为标准来验证使用混合能差值评价萃取剂优劣的合理性。验证结果表明混合能差值基本随选择性的增加而增大,这一结论为进一步深入理论研究和新的萃取剂选择方法的开发打下了基础。 相似文献
Extractive distillation was investigated for separation of the minimum azeotrope of n-propanol/water,via the Aspen Plus simulation platform.Experimental data of n-propanol/water,which could pass the thermodynamic consistency test,were regressed to get suitable binary interaction parameters (BIPs) by the UNIQUAC thermodynamic model.The azeotrope system was heterogeneous in the simulation with built-in BIPs,which was contrary to the experimental data.The study focused on the effect of thermodynamic parameters on the prediction of phase behavior,and process design of extractive distillation.N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and ethylene glycol were used as solvents to implement the separation.Processes with built-in and regressed BIPs were explored,based on the minimum total annual cost (TAC).There were significant differences in the phase behavior simulation using different thermodynamic parameters,which showed the importance of BIPs in the design and optimization of extractive distillation. 相似文献
Methyl acetate is considered low toxicity volatile solvent produced either as a by-product during methanol carbonylation or via acetic acid esterification with methanol. In both cases, pure methyl acetate has to be isolated from the reaction mixture. Simulation of methyl acetate separation from its mixture with methanol by extraction distillation was carried out in ASPEN + software. In total three case studies were assumed using two different extraction solvents and two solvent regeneration strategies. In case A, novel extraction solvent 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ionic liquid, was considered. Raw material separation was achieved in an extraction distillation column while the solvent regeneration was accomplished in a second distillation column in this case. In case study B, the same extraction solvent was used; however, its regeneration was carried out in a single-effect evaporator. Dimethyl sulfoxide was the second extraction solvent selected. Its use in methyl acetate-methanol separation is presented in case study C. As high purity of dimethyl sulfoxide was required for the methyl acetate-methanol azeotrope breaking, its regeneration was carried out in the second distillation column only. To simulate the ternary methyl acetate–methanol–extraction solvent mixtures separation, vapor–liquid equilibrium was predicted based on the NRTL equation. Further, unknown properties of the considered ionic liquid and variation of these properties with temperature were predicted and introduced into the ASPEN + components properties database. Based on these data, optimum operation parameters of the respective separation equipment were established. In all case studies, the same condition had to be fulfilled, namely minimum methyl acetate content in the distillate from the extraction distillation column of 99.5mol-%. Results of simulations using the respective optimum operation parameters were employed in the economic evaluation of the three separation unit designs studied. It was found that the least energy-demanding design corresponds to the case study B in terms of both capital as well as operation expenses.
