Abstract
The processes of extractive distillation and heteroazeotropic distillation of mixtures containing water and a high-boiling component (propionic acid, acetic acid, 1-methoxy-2-propanol) are compared. Entrainers declared in the literature as effective agents for these processes were selected as separating agents. A distillation process simulation in AspenPlus V.11.0 is made. Parametric optimization is carried out and the column operation parameters (number of stages, feed stage, reflux ratio) that meet the minimum energy consumptions and ensure the production of marketable substances are determined. It is shown that the process of heteroazeotropic distillation is more energy-efficient compared to extractive distillation by more than 50%, due to the introduction of an entrainer that lowers the boiling point of process. In addition, in some cases (acetic acid + water with vinyl acetate, propionic acid + water with hexane, cyclohexane, cyclohexanol), one of the columns in the separation flowsheet can be abandoned due to the significantly limited mutual solubility.
