Process design and multi-objective optimization for separation of isopropyl acetate/isopropanol/water by extractive distillation using ionic liquid mixed solvents

Qing Zhao et al.

Summary: Efficient recovery of isopropyl acetate and isopropanol from wastewater during esterification is important. An efficient separation process using ionic liquid mixed solvent extractive distillation (MSED) to separate azeotropic mixtures was proposed. The results showed that the total annual cost (TAC) and gas emissions of the MSED and HPHIED process were significantly lower compared to traditional distillation processes.
