Which module in Aspen is used for the liquid-liquid separation of water and oil at room temperature?
Thread Content
I have a separation question for everyone: I conducted a simple experiment in the laboratory. 1. The aqueous solution contained copper chloride, which was mixed with oil； 2. After standing at room temperature, separation occurs with water at the bottom and oil at the top. 3. It can directly separate water from oil, with copper chloride remaining dissolved in the water. How to separate using one module in Aspen. I used simple flash; why is copper chloride still in the oil after separation? Thank you all, please give me some advice.
Using a liquid-liquid separation decanter module
To simulate liquid-liquid equilibrium calculations in Aspen Plus, the decanter module should be used. It is important to select a property method that can calculate liquid-liquid equilibrium, as well as the appropriate binary interaction parameters for such equilibrium.
