The choice of possible entrainers for the extractive distillation of binary mixture benzene – cyclohexane

Abstract

The approaches to the formation of a set of possible entrainers for extractive distillation of the binary mixture benzene - cyclohexane are considered. The approaches are based on the analyses of concentration dependence of different excess thermodynamic functions.
