Abstract:
1, 2-dimethylbenzene was chosen as solvent through UNIFAC group contribution method and its effect was verified by vaporliquid equilibrium experiment. The effectiveness of the selected solvent was investigated by batch extractive distillation experiment. The results show that 1, 2-dimethylbenzene can increase the relative volatility significantly. The batch extractive distillation was carried out in a packed column of 30 theoretical plates. With the constant reflux ratio of 3 and the solvent mole ratio of 1∶1, the product mole fraction of methanol reaches 99.688%.
