How to simulate a distillation column for the separation of dichloromethane and water?
Thread Content
RT, I hope to use simulation software to model a tower for the separation of dichloromethane and water. It is known that dichloromethane and water have an azeotrope at 38.1°C, with water making up approximately 1.5% (by mass). I would like to know how to simulate this tower in order to achieve a dichloromethane concentration of 99.9% in the product

This task is relatively simple; a butanol-water system can be used, which consists of 1 phase separator + 2 stripping towers: after phase separation, the aqueous phase goes into one stripping tower while the organic phase goes into the other. The products and water are obtained from the bottoms of these two stripping towers respectively.
