However, its purification has drawbacks as it forms an azeotrope with water, making separation difficult. In this work the separation of the azeotrope water+iso-propanol by liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl pentanoate as entrainer is studied. Following a sequence of tasks such as experimentation↔modeling↔simulation, this work presents new LLE information of the binary and ternary systems involved. The feasibility of the process is analyzed in a commercial simulator using a model generated from experimental information, and VLE data estimated with UNIFAC. The ternary system produces a type I liquid-liquid equilibrium, the correlation of which is performed with acceptable results. The simulation results show that the liquid-liquid extraction, properly integrated with a fractional distillation, allows the recovery of almost 100% of iso-propanol with a purity close to 81% (w/w). | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/132052 | ISSN: | 0972-4478 | Source: | Trends in Chemical Engineering [ISSN 0972-4478], v. 21, p. 13-25, (2023) |
