Aspects of the thermogravimetric analysis of liquid mixtures as predictive or interpretation tool for batch distillation

Abstract The thermogravimetric analysis when applied to liquid binary mixtures of acetonitrile–water and methanol–water reproduces the whole course a batch distillation with an appreciable saving time materials. experimental mass energy balances correlate good approximation vapor–liquid equilibrium compositions without need gas-phase measures or thermodynamic models. This technique was here for first as fast method design complementary tool DSC boiling-point measurements.
