In PRO2 software, what property methods are used for the distillation separation of toluene, benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, and benzoic acid?

Try using equations of state, such as SRK, etc. . .

NITL works too! Suitable for azeotrope systems!

When an azeotrope is present, considerations must be given to the azeotrophic composition and temperature, and the design also becomes more complex. . .

ntrl will work; it would be better if you have azeotrope parameters. SRK is not suitable for non-polar systems, so it definitely won’t work

I think it’s okay to use the activity coefficient at low pressure, and it’s also a polar system. Of course, high pressure requires careful consideration. Also, due to piracy, the underlying databases of these software programs may produce errors when dealing with certain azeotropes; for example, an azeotrope that should appear may not show up, or it may appear in the wrong location (with incorrect composition), so be sure to check carefully
