Separation of acetonitrile-ethyl acetate by extractivedistillation with mixed solventLi Chunli1, Zong Lili2and Fang JingSchool of Chemical Engineering, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin, 30013E-mail:lichunli_hebut@126.com, Tel: +86-022-AbstractComputer-aided molecular design (CAMD) approach was bring in this work for selectingextractivesolvents. The separation of acetonitrile-ethyl acetate Azeotropic system was carried out through a batchextractive distillation processes withN,N-dimethylformamide(DMF),glycol(EG) and DMF-EG mixture assolvents separately. The effects of different operating conditions were studied, solvents, ratio of mixed solvent,solvent flow rate and reflux ratio were all included. It was found that the mixed solvent DMF-EG showed betterseparation effect than the single solvent. The best proportion of the mixed solvent was 3:7 ( the quality of DMFand EG ); when the solvent flow rate and reflux ratio increased, the separation effect of mixed solventimproved; under the conditions that solvent flow rate was 20 mL/min, reflux ratio was 2, quality fraction ofethyl acetate in the top product could reach 99.62%.KeywordsSeparation; Batch extractive distillation; Mixed solvents; Acetonitrile; Ethyl acetate1.IntroductionAcetonitrile and ethyl acetate are widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries as chemical rawmaterials and good organic solvent[1]. But the two form azeotrope, ethyl acetate hold 77% and the other 23% isacetonitrile(mass fraction), common distillation method can not make any effect. Therefore, some companieshave to treat them as waste, this not only cause seriously waste of resources and economy, but also pollute theenvironment. At present, Di Jiandong[2]of Tianjin university has realized the separation of acetonitrile-ethylacetate by heterogeneous batch azeotropic distillation, but the product received in this way have lower purity,but high energy consumption. According to the difference of solubility that acetonitrile and eth
