“…DMC is used as a raw material to synthesize carbonates with different structures, such as dipropyl carbonate, diphenyl carbonate, isonitrile ester, glycerol carbonate, carbamate, and so on. , While synthesizing dipropyl carbonate, the products contain some dimethyl carbonate and n -propanol. − To save cost, it is necessary to recover dimethyl carbonate and n -propanol, which can form an azeotrope. Separating azeotropes require some special distillation methods, such as azeotrope distillation, pressure swing distillation, liquid–liquid extraction, , extractive distillation, , and membrane separation. , …”
