RESEARCH ON THE COMPOSITION RELATIONSHIP OF AQUEOUS MIXTURES CONTAINING ESTERS AND ALCOHOLS, WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF SEPARATION SCHEMES

In the article on the example of aqueous systems containing homologs of alcohols and alkyl acetates, the possibility of predicting the energy consumption of technological schemes for the separation of mixtures of different composition is shown. Isomeric structures of schemes of product separation based on the application of conventional and (auto)extractive rectification are proposed. Static parameters of column operation providing the required quality of product streams are determined. The dependence of the change in the total energy consumption of schemes on the molecular weight of homologue components and the composition of initial mixtures has been revealed.
