The Optimum Process of Pressure Swing-Top MVRHP Distillation for Separating Toluene and N-butyl Alcohol

In view of the high energy consumption problem of separating toluene and n-butyl alcohol by pressure-swing distillation, the top MVRHP heat pump technology was used to modify the process of pressure swing distillation. Aspen Plus was used to simulate the process. The total annual cost (TAC) was adopted as the objective function, and the optimum process parameters of pressure swing distillation and pressure swing–top MVRHP distillation were determined by sequential iterative method. The results show that the process of pressure swing–top MVRHP distillation is better from the perspective of energy-saving and economic effects.
