What thermodynamic methods are used to separate 2,4-dichlorotoluene and 3,4-dichlorotoluene?
Thread Content
Dear experts, what thermodynamic method should be used to separate 2,4-dichlorotoluene from 3,4-dichlorotoluene at an absolute pressure of 10 KPa?
SRK, you can give it a try; is it ProII?
While there are some general guidelines for choosing thermodynamic methods, the one that is most suitable is the best. Apart from specialized thermodynamic methods, there are essentially two categories: equation of state methods and activity coefficient methods. Given the polarity of the aforementioned systems and the low pressures involved, the activity coefficient method should be the preferred choice; once again, the most suitable method is the best one. It should be considered whether it is in line with actual production.
