Life cycle assessment of solvent extraction as a low-energy alternative to distillation for recovery of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone from process waste

This case study investigates low-energy alternatives to distillation for the recovery of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) from solvent waste in the manufacture of resin precursors. Evaluation includes environmental and economic life cycle assessment of solvent recovery and reuse using batch distillation...
