Pemisahan n-propil asetat dari campuran terner n-propil asetat/n-propanol/air merupakan salah satu proses yang tidak dapat dilakukan dengan distilasi sederhana. Adanya azeotrop terner minimum dari campuran tersebut menyebabkan n-propil asetat hanya dapat dipisahkan dari campuran n-propanol dan air salah satunya dengan metode distilasi ekstraktif. Distilasi ekstraktif merupakan proses vaporisasi parsial dengan menambahkan suatu agen pemisah non-volatil yang disebut sebagai sovent atau agen ekstraktif. Solvent yang digunakan dalam simulasi proses ini adalah campuran DMSO (Dimetil Sulfoksida) dan Gliserol dengan komposisi 50 % massa dengan perbandingan 1:2 untuk massa umpan kolom : solvent. Feed yang digunakan adalah n-propanol (10 kmol/jam) dan asam asetat (13 kmol/jam) masing-masing pada suhu 25°C dan tekanan 101,3 kPa. Hasil n-propil asetat terbaik diperoleh saat solvent diumpankan pada stage 5 dengan fraksi mol n-propil asetat pada distilat 0,9975 disertai dengan minimumnya energi reboiler yang digunakan pada konfigurasi kolom ini.n-Propyl acetate separation of the n-propyl acetate /n-propanol/water mixture composition can't be done by simple distillation. The existence of minimum ternary azeotrope on the mixture causes n-propyl acetate can be separated only by extractive distillation method. Extractive distillation is a partial vaporization process in the presence of a non-volatile separating agent called as solvent or extractive agent. Solvent used in the simulation process is DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide)-Glycerol mixture (50% mass) with a ratio of 1: 2 for column feed : solvent. n-Propanol (10 kmol/hour) and acetic acid (13 kmol/hour) are fed into reactor (before extractive distillation process) at 25°C and 101.3 kPa, respectively. The best results of n-propyl acetate were obtained when the solvent was fed to stage 5 in which mole fraction of n-propyl acetate in distillate 0.9975 accompanied by the minimum reboiler energy used in this column configuration.
Liquid–liquid
equilibria (LLE) data for dimethyl carbonate
(DMC) + 2-methyl-1-propanol + water and DMC + 2-methyl-2-propanol
+ water systems were accurately determined using jacketed equilibrium
cell under atmospheric pressure at 303.15 and 313.15 K. The experimental
data were found to be consistent with Bachman–Brown correlation.
The data were correlated well using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL)
and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) activity coefficient models
with a root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) between the experimental
and calculated phase compositions of 0.004 and 0.002 for the DMC +
2-methyl-1-propanol + water system and 0.003 and 0.005 for the DMC
+ 2-methyl-2-propanol + water system, respectively. The effect of
temperature to phase boundary was observed as well.
This study successfully improved the performance of oxidative desulfurization method to reduce sulfur content from residue oil (condensate) with modifications of oxidation and extraction steps which was repeated for several stages. Residue oil used in this study contain 386.2 ppm of initial sulfur content. In oxidation process, H2O2 as oxidizer and acid as catalyst were used within temperature range of 30–60 °C and time interval from 30 to 120 min. In extraction process, various alcohol solvents (methanol, ethanol, and propanol) were used with the temperature of 30 °C in 30 min for every residue oil ratio to solvent (v/v). The best reducing sulfur result achieved was 35.9 ppm or 90.7% desulfurization. This result was achieved after 4 recursively extractions using ethanol as solvent. This study successfully reduced sulfur content in residue oil to meet the international standard (< 50 ppm).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
