Optimisation of a Batch Extractive Distillation Process with Off-Cut Recycle

The recovery of methanol from an industrial waste solvent mixture (acetone (A) – methanol (B) – THF (C)–water (D) – toluene (E)) by a batch (BD) and batch extractive distillation (BED) process was simulated and optimised. For both processes a production cycle consists of six consecutive batches. The...
