Intensification of Azeotropic Distillation for Ethanol Dehydration using Data-based Optimization, Steady-state Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis

The Ethanol-water separation involves a well-known azeotrope that confines the achievement of the ethanol purity to the values higher than 95 wt% using straightforward distillation. Many attempts have been made to identify how it can be possible to produce ultra-pure ethanol (99.95 wt%) for various...
