Simulation and Optimization of Chlorobenzene Distillation Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In general, two tower process was used to purify crude chlorobenzene, of which the primary tower is to remove benzene and water, and the rectification tower to remove higher boiling components. In this paper, simulation and optimization of such two tower process were done using the rigorous distillation column simulator RadFrac in Aspen Plus. The steady-state simulation results of temperature, flowrate and compositions can agree well with that of real plant. In addition, optimized design and operating parameters, such as minimum reflux ratio, minimum number of trays, feed stage, etc, were obtained and would be very important for industrial applications.
