Azeotropic dehydration of toluene with water, design issues for toluene reflux
Thread Content
I want to use a distillation still to carry out azeotropic dehydration of toluene and water, but I’m unsure how to address the issue of toluene reflux in industrial production. I would appreciate advice from experts
A liquid-liquid separator is installed behind the condenser to allow the toluene to flow back while the water is removed; the bottom of the tower then yields pure toluene
