Description:
The binary mixture of n-heptane and isobutanol forms an azeotrope at atmospheric pressure with composition 66.9 mol% n-heptane and temperature 364 K. Several methods of separation are possible. This paper compares the steady-state economics and the dynamic controllability of three alternative separation techniques: a two-column extractive distillation process, a two-column pressure-swing distillation process and a single column with a refrigerated condenser.
