Exploration of the effect of pressure on the performance of different extractive distillation processes for separating azeotropic mixtures with high concentration composition based on multi-objective optimization
In recent years, it is of growing interest to recovery of highly concentrated constituents from wastewater. This paper presents three extractive distillation configurations for separating the Isopropanol (IPA)/Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)/Cyclohexane (CYH) ternary azeotropic mixture with a composition of 10 mol% MEK, 80 mol% IPA and 10 mol% CYH: conventional three-column extractive distillation configuration (TCD), four-column extractive distillation configuration incorporating a pre-concentration column (FCPC), and innovative three-column extractive distillation configuration with an integrated distillation column (TCD-ID). In the FCPC configuration, IPA is more easily separated at lower pressures in the pre-concentration column (PC); when dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used as the entrainer, the higher the operating pressure in the extractive distillation column (C2) for separating IPA/MEK azeotrope, the lower the amount of entrainer used. Subsequently, there are two cases of the TCD-ID configuration: one is the TCD-ID configuration where the operating pressure of the integrated distillation column is low pressure (TCD-ID-LP) and the other is the TCD-ID configuration where pressure of the integrated distillation column is 1 atm (TCD-ID-AP). The optimization results showed that in comparison with the FCPC configuration, the TCD-ID-LP configuration exhibits increases of 23.10 % in TAC, 10.01 % in CO₂ emissions, 0.1 % entropy generation. Similarly, the TCD-ID-AP configuration exhibits increases of 22.03 % in TAC, 21.54 % in CO₂ emissions, and 22.50 % in entropy generation. Subsequently, the FCPC process is enhanced with heat pump and heat integration technologies to further achieve energy savings. The results showed that the FCPC-HP configuration decreased TAC by 25.10 %, CO2 emission by 65.25 %, and entropy production by 37.17 % compared with the FCPC configuration. Comparative analysis reveals that the TCD-ID configurations demonstrate no significant advantages over the FCPC configuration for separating the 0.1MEK/0.8IPA/0.1CYH ternary system. Both thermodynamic and economic evaluations identify the FCPC-HP configuration as the optimal solution, offering superior performance in terms of energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
