Simulation of Ethanol Extractive Distillation with Mixed Glycols as Separating Agent
Extractive distillation is an alternative for ethanol dehydration processes that has been shown to be more effective than azeotropic distillation and, in close proximity, to be very competitive against the process that uses adsorption with molecular sieves. Glycols have been shown to be the most effective solvents in extractive distillation, mainly ethylene glycol and glycerol. In this work, an...
متن کاملRegimes of extractive distillation in ethanol production
The influence of operating conditions to the effectiveness of extractive distillation process was investigated by using the method of gas chromatography. The experiment took place on an industrial vacuum plant of purification ethanol from impurities formed during fermentation. It is obtained that the concentration of different micro impurities at the selection zones depends on the temperature a...
متن کاملSimulation of the Tetrahydrofuran Dehydration Process by Extractive Distillation
−− The aim of this work is to simulate and analyze an extractive distillation process (extractive distillation and recovery columns) for the separation of Tetrahydrofuran (THF)-Water azeotropic mixture using Aspen Plus® and Aspen Split simulators. Calculation of vapor liquid equilibrium of Tetrahydrofuran–Water–Entrainer system was done using the NRTL model, which binary interaction parameters ...
متن کاملShortcut Design of Extractive Distillation Columns
Extractive distillation is a common process for the separation of homogeneous azeotropic mixtures. In this process entrainer feed flowrate and reflux ratio of the extractive column represent the crucial design degrees of freedom which govern feasibility and operating cost. In this work feasibility and operational stability of the extractive column is related to the analysis of the nonlinear dyn...
متن کاملDynamic Behavior of Alternative Separation Processes for Ethanol Dehydration by Extractive Distillation
Ethanol is attracting the attention of researchers because of its potential in reducing the dependence on crude oil together with the possible reduction in the pollution associated with the combustion process. The ethanol dehydration process is significant in terms of its production cost. Recently, new distillation sequences have been proposed for the separation of pure ethanol from the ferment...
