New Method for the Determination of Batch Heteroazeotropic Distillation Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 carried out for the mixtures 1,4-dioxanewater þ benzene and isopropanol-water þ benzene. The new method gives the right sequence of the cuts for all operation modes and strategies of heterogeneous batch distillation.

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 double column system for heteroazeotropic batch distillation
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 c...

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. Two multivessel column configurations, with and without vapour bypass, and a rectifier column, are...
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...

Shortcut methods are valuable tools in the early stages of chemical process design, where numerous flowsheet alternatives need to be evaluated to determine the most energy-efficient, feasible flowsheet. Various shortcut methods based on tray-to-tray calculation and pinch point analysis for the inspection of feasibility and the determination of the minimum energy demand (MED) for homogeneous non...
