Distillation crossing

CH2 CH CH0. a colourless, volatile liquid, with characteristic odour. The vapour is poisonous, and intensely irritating to eyes and nose b.p. 53"C. It is prepared by the distillation of a mixture of glycerin, potassium sulphate and potassium hydrogen sulphate. It is manufactured by direct oxidation of propene or cross-condensation of ethanal with meth-anal. [Pg.329]

Electrolysis, under similar conditions, of a mixture of two carboxylic acids RCOOH and R COOH leads, in addition to normal coupling products R—R and R —R, to cross coupling R—R. If a mixture of a saturated carboxylic acid and a half ester of an ato-dicarboxylic acid is electrolysed, there are three main products, viz., a hydrocarbon (I), a mono-ester (II), and a di-ester (HI) and these are readily separable by distillation. Some unsaturated ester (IV) is often present in small quantity. [Pg.938]

Table 3 contains strategic separations to be considered for crossing distillation boundaries. Many of these can be eliminated after examining the pertinent physical properties and equiUbrium behavior (see Table 4) and referring to the general separation considerations. The results are summarized in Table 5. [Pg.454]

The feed compositions and products of each of these strategic separations remain ill-defined. The unspecified 2-propanol—water mixture, the input to each strategic separation, could be but is not necessarily the original feed composition. The MSA composition (pure hexane in this case) is such that one of the products of the strategic separation is in region II, ie, the strategic separation crosses the distillation boundary. Two opportunistic distillations from... [Pg.455]

The strategy for boundary crossing has been implemented however, by the addition of the hexane another critical feature has been created. Hexane must be regenerated, but it is in a different distillation region than the only remaining unprocessed stream (Ml). In this case the possible boundary crossing strategic operations are Mixer 6 and Decanter 7. Two opportunistic distillations. Fractionators 8 and 9, can also be appHed to Ml (decantation is also a possible opportunistic separation). [Pg.456]

In one possible sequence the MSA composition is chosen as water-saturated methylene chloride expected to be regenerated by decantation. The boundary-crossing strategic operation is to mix the feed with the MSA. The resulting two-phase mixture is opportunistically fractionated to produce the 2-propanol product as bottoms, and a mixture of water—methylene chloride as distillate. This distillate is opportunistically decanted to recover water-saturated methylene chloride MSA for recycle. The aqueous decanter phase is the water product, which optionally may be further purified by... [Pg.456]

Solvent Recovery. A mixture of methanol and methyl acetate is obtained after saponification. The methyl acetate can be sold as a solvent or converted back into acetic acid and methanol using a cationic-exchange resin such as a cross-linked styrene—sulfonic acid gel (273—276). The methyl acetate and methanol mixture is separated by extractive distillation using water or ethylene glycol (277—281). Water is preferred if the methyl acetate is to be hydroly2ed to acetic acid. The resulting acetic acid solution is concentrated by extraction or a2eotropic distillation. [Pg.485]

Many industrial separations require a series of columns that are connected in specific ways. Some distillation programs can model such a system as a hypothetical single column with arbitrary cross-flows and connections and then carry out the distillation calculations for the modeled hypothetical column. Alternatively, such a system can be modeled as a process flow sheet using a process simulator. [Pg.78]

Distillation boundaries for continuous distillation are approximated by simple distillation boundaries. This is a very good approximation for mixtures with nearly linear simple distillation boundaries. Although curved simple distillation boundaries can be crossed to some degree (16,25—30,32,33), the resulting distillation sequences are not normally economical. Mixtures such as nitric acid—water—sulfuric acid, that have extremely curved boundaries, are exceptions. Therefore, a good working assumption is that simple distillation boundaries should not be crossed by continuous distillation. In other words, for a separation to be feasible by distillation it is sufficient that the distillate and bottoms compositions He in the same distillation region. [Pg.182]

Drawing pseudo-binaryjy—x phase diagrams for the mixture to be separated is the easiest way to identify the distillate product component. A pseudo-binary phase diagram is one in which the VLE data for the azeotropic constituents (components 1 and 2) are plotted on a solvent-free basis. When no solvent is present, the pseudo-binaryjy—x diagram is the tme binaryjy—x diagram (Eig. 8a). At the azeotrope, where the VLE curve crosses the 45° line,... [Pg.186]

Three types of binary equilibrium cui ves are shown in Fig. 13-27. The y-x diagram is almost always plotted for the component that is the more volatile (denoted by the subscript 1) in the region where distillation is to take place. Cui ve A shows the most usual case, in which component 1 remains more volatile over the entire composition range. Cui ve B is typical of many systems (ethanol-water, for example) in which the component that is more volatile at lowvalues of X becomes less volatile than the other component at high values of X. The vapor and liquid compositions are identical for the homogeneous azeotrope where cui ve B crosses the 45° diagonal. A heterogeneous azeotrope is formed with two liquid phases by cui ve C,... [Pg.1265]

Since residue cur ves do not by definition cross separatrices, the distillate and bottoms compositions must be in the same distillation region with the mass balance line intersecting a residue cur ve in two places. Mass balance lines for mixing and for other separations not involving vapor-hquid equihbria, such as extraction and decantation, are of course not hmited by distiUation boundaries. [Pg.1296]

Exploitation of Boundary Curvature A second approach to boundaiy crossing exploits boundaiy curvature in order to produce compositions in different distillation regions. When distillation boundaries exhibit extreme curvature, it may be possible to design a column such that the distillate and bottoms are on the same residue curve in one distillation region, while the feed (which is not required to lie on the column-composition profile) is in another distillation region. In order for such a column to meet material-balance constraints (i.e., bottom, distillate, feed on a straight hne), the feed must be located in a region where the boundary is concave. [Pg.1311]

The cresols occur in cresylic acid, a mixture of the three cresols together with some xylenols and neutral oils, obtained from coal tar distillates. Only the /n-cresol has the three reactive positions necessary to give cross-linked resins and so this is normally the desired material. The o-isomer is easily removed by distillation but separation of the close-boiling m- and p-isomers is difficult and so mixtures of these two isomers are used in practice. [Pg.638]

An important system in distillation is an azeotropic mixture. An azeotrope is a liquid mixture which when vaporized, produces the same composition as the liquid. The VLE plots illustrated in Figure 11 show two different azeotropic systems one with a minimum boiling point and one with a maximum boiling point. In both plots, the equilibrium curves cross the diagonal lines. [Pg.173]

These are azeotropic points where the azeotropes occur. In other words, azeotropic systems give rise to VLE plots where the equilibrium curves crosses the diagonals. Both plots are however, obtained from homogenous azeotropic systems. An azeotrope that contains one liquid phase in contact with vapor is called a homogenous azeotrope. A homogenous azeotrope carmot be separated by conventional distillation. However, vacuum distillation may be used as the lower pressures can shift the azeotropic point. Alternatively, an additional substance may added to shift the azeotropic point to a more favorable position. When this additional component appears in appreciable amounts at the top of the column, the operation is referred to as an azeotropic distillation. When the additional component appears mostly at the bottom of the column, the operation is called extractive distillation. [Pg.174]

A co-solvent that is poorly miscible with ionic liquids but highly miscible with the products can be added in the separation step (after the reaction) to facilitate the product separation. The Pd-mediated FFeck coupling of aryl halides or benzoic anhydride with alkenes, for example, can be performed in [BMIM][PFg], the products being extracted with cyclohexane. In this case, water can also be used as an extraction solvent, to remove the salt by-products formed in the reaction [18]. From a practical point of view, the addition of a co-solvent can result in cross-contamination, and it has to be separated from the products in a supplementary step (distillation). More interestingly, unreacted organic reactants themselves (if they have nonpolar character) can be recycled to the separation step and can be used as the extractant co-solvent. [Pg.265]
