Energy-saving ethanol dehydration techniques to produce dehydrated alcohol mainly included four measures as azeotropy distillation, extraction distillation, absorptive process and membrane separation.
The separation of three-component system of cyclohexane,cyclo-hexene and benzene by extract rectification with a mixed solvent,comprising hexyl dicyanide and dimethyl acetylamine has been studied.
The main factors that influence the extractive distillation were researched such as the theoretical plate number, feedboard, solvent ratio, reflux ratio, the temperature of solvent.
With the carbonium 5 separation unit as an example, the operational performance and the energy saving effects of the thermal-ly coupled distillation was simulated and analyzed for the nonideal system.
