Chemical Engineering and Processing - Process Intensification(2024)
摘要
In this study, a conventional triple-column extractive distillation process and three side-stream extractive distillation processes are investigated for separating a ternary mixture of n-hexane/ethyl acetate/acetonitrile. A multi-objective genetic optimization method is applied to optimize the four processes with the minimum total annual cost (TAC) and entropy production as two objective functions. The results indicate that the three side-stream extractive distillation processes can effectively reduce the remixing phenomenon, achieving a reduction in energy consumption. In addition, the three side-stream extractive distillation processes exhibit better economic advantages and significantly decrease entropy production compared to the conventional triple-column extractive distillation process. Among the processes, the single side-stream extractive distillation process presents the optimal performance considering economy, energy-efficient and entropy production. Specifically, it can reduce 6.17% of TAC, 7.85% of energy consumption and 15.54% of entropy production in comparison to the conventional triple-column extractive distillation process, respectively.
