New double column system for heteroazeotropic batch distillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new double column system (DCS) operated in closed mode is suggested for heterogeneous batch distillation. This configuration is investigated by feasibility studies based on the assumption of maximal separation and is compared with the traditional batch rectifier (BR). We study the configurations also by dynamic simulation based on a detailed model using a professional simulator. For the new configuration the minimal duration of the process is determined. The influence of the most important operational parameters is studied. The calculations and the simulations are performed for a binary (nbutanol–water) and for a ternary heteroazeotropic mixture (isopropanol–water +benzene as entrainer). One of the advantages of the DCS is that distillation of binary and ternary systems is performed in only one step. Furthermore the recovery of components is usually higher and the amount of byproducts is lower.

Separation of Azeotropic Mixtures in Closed Batch Distillation Arrangements
Batch time (energy) requirements are provided for the separation of ternary zeotropic and heteroazeotropic mixtures in three closed batch column configurations. Two multivessel column modifications (with and without vapor bypass) and a conventional batch column operated under the cyclic policy, were studied. The multivessel column performs always better than the conventional column and the time...
متن کاملNew Method for the Determination of Batch Heteroazeotropic Distillation Regions
A new, general method for the determination of batch distillation regions of heteroazeotropic distillation is suggested. The method proposed, which means the extension of the method of Pham and Doherty, takes into consideration the possibility of the withdrawal of any fraction of either liquid phase from the decanter as distillate. The simplified and rigorous simulation calculations were carrie...

Batch time requirements are provided for the separation of ternary heterogeneous azeotropic mixtures into three pure products in closed batch column configurations. The separations are performed in hybrid processes where distillation is combined with decantation for completing the separation task.

متن کاملSeparation of Ternary Heteroazeotropic Mixtures in a Closed Multivessel Batch Distillation-decanter Hybrid
The feasibility of a novel multivessel batch distillation–decanter hybrid for simultaneous separation of ternary heterogeneous azeotropic mixtures is addressed both theoretically and by simulations. The multivessel column is operated as a closed system without product withdrawal and the three components are accumulated in the vessels during one closed operation. The closed mode (total reflux) o...
متن کاملNew Column Configurations for Pressure Swing Batch Distillation Rigorous Simulation Calculations
The pressure swing distillation in different batch column configurations is investigated by rigorous simulation calculations. The calculations are made by a professional flow-sheet simulator for the separation of a minimum (ethanol–toluene) and a maximum boiling (water– ethylene-diamine) azeotropic mixture. Besides studying the well known configurations (rectifier, stripper) we also investigate...
