Study on the Volatility Order of Systems with Two Minimum Azeotropes

Abstract:

In systems with two minimum binary azeotropes, there are two isovolatility lines. Different volatility order can be obtained according to different isovolatility lines. The volatility orders of components are identified according to the isovolatility lines and are compared with that identified based on the rigorous simulation using Aspen Plus. The results show that, in the system with two minimum binary azeotropes and two isovolatility lines, the volatility order of components is determined by the isovolatility line passing through the unstable node. Based on this, the rule for identifying the volatility order is proposed. The case studies show that this rule is simple and feasible.This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications.
