SEQUENCING OF AZEOTROPIC DISTILLATION COLUMNS
Semester Genap 2018/2019 (Kelas A)
Prodi Sarjana Teknik Kimia Universitas Riau
INTRODUCTION
Separation sequences are complicated by the presence of
azeotropes, often involving mixtures of oxygenated organic
compounds:
 Alcohols
 Ketones
 Ethers
 Acids
 Water
INTRODUCTION
In these cases, distillation boundaries limit the product
compositions of a column to lie within a bounded region
 Prevents the removal of certain species in high
concentrations
