Abstract

Various distillation operations such as reactive distillation, azeotropic distillation, steam distillation, extractive distillation are used according to the need. Modeling of distillation columns helps in predicting various parameters for given separation. Optimal reflux ratio largely depends on the feed mole fraction, feed quality, relative volatility, and a separation factor. Studies reveal that very narrow range of reflux ratios which can produce high conversions and high purity methyl acetate. Optimal reflux ratio largely depends on the feed mole fraction, feed quality, relative volatility, and a separation factor. Extensive work is reported on various aspects of reactive, azeotropic, divided wall columns. Current review summarizes various aspects like modeling and simulation of these distillation operations.
