Azeotropes as Powerful Tool for Waste Minimization in Industry and Chemical Processes
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Reduction at the source: generally requiring an important process modification to reduce or eliminate the generation of waste and the use of hazardous materials.
- Recycling: consisting of contaminant removal from a useful fraction of waste to allow it to be reused.
2. Azeotropes for Waste Recovery and Reuse
2.1. Homogeneous Azeotropic Distillation
2.2. Heterogeneous Azeotropic Distillation
2.3. Hybrid Extractive-Heterogeneous Azeotropic Distillation
- Group 1: acetone does not form any azeotropes with other components; from the economic point of view it is preferable to separate it with conventional distillation before proceeding through extractive heterogenous distillation to separate the remaining solvents by using additional water as auto-entrainer.
- Group 2: when a couple of solvents which do not form azeotropes, but their azeotropes are present with other components, extractive-heterogeneous azeotropic distillation with two subsequent conventional distillations is the preferred way to recover single components.
- Group 3: when a binary azeotrope is present between the components of the mixtures, the best way for solvent separation is two extractive-heterogeneous azeotropic distillations with subsequent conventional distillation.
