Recovery of Acetonitrile from Aqueous Solutions by Extractive Distillation–Effect of Entrainer
The aim of this work was to apply extractive
distillation for acetonitrile removal from water solutions, to validate
thermodynamic criterion based on excess Gibbs energy to entrainer
selection process for acetonitrile – water mixture separation and show
its potential efficiency at isothermal conditions as well as at isobaric
(conditions of real distillation process), to simulate and analyze an
extractive distillation process with chosen entrainers: optimize
amount of trays and feeds, entrainer/original mixture and reflux
ratios. Equimolar composition of the feed stream was chosen for the
process, comparison of the energy consumptions was carried out.
Glycerol was suggested as the most energetically and ecologically
suitable entrainer.
