Simulation and Analysis of Process Behavior of Ultrasonic Distillation System for Separation Azeotropic Mixtures

Abstract:

The performance of an ultrasonic distillation (USD) system is evaluated in Aspen Plus simulation environment. To facilitate the flowsheet development, a mathematical model of a single stage USD developed using Aspen Custom Modeler software is exported to Aspen Plus process simulator. As a case study, the separation of ethanol-ethyl acetate mixture that is known to form azeotrope 55 mole % of ethyl acetate at minimum boiling point of 71.8 ^oC is considered. Simulation results revealed the achievable purity of ethyl acetate of 99 mole % from azeotropic mixture, thus reinforcing the anticipated potentials of sonication phenomena in intensifying distillation process to overcome azeotropes.
