Abstract: | The effect of hydrotropes on vapor-liquid equilibrium of a mixture provides a potential technique of extractive distillation for systems which are difficult or impossible to separate by normal rectification. Various hydrotropes, such as sodium toluate, sodium toluence sulfonate, sodium cymcnc sulfonate, sodium mesitylene sulfonate and sodium salicylate, in aqueous solutions have been tested for the separation of close-boiling point mixtures, such as p-cresol/2,6-xylenol, isopropanol/ fm-butanol, and wc-butanol/rert-butanol. The changes in the relative volatility increase with the concentration of hydrotrope and with the hydrotrope to solute ratio. |
