Distillation is an important process in many plants. It is used to separate mixtures into various components. In some plants, distillation may be the final step in processing a material so that it meets product specifications. The heart of a distillation process is a distillation column, or tower. Depending on the needs of the plant, a distillation process may include conventional, azeotropic, extractive, or vacuum columns.

Learning Objectives

Topic I: Introduction
• Define the following terms: conventional distillation, thermal degradation, and azeotrope.
• Identify three types of distillation processes that may be used instead of conventional distillation.
• Identify similarities of azeotropic, extractive, vacuum, and conventional distillation columns.
Topic II: Azeotropic Columns, Part 1
• Describe why azeotropes make conventional distillation impossible.
• Define the following terms: minimum boiling point azeotrope and maximum boiling point azeotrope.
• Identify the major parts of a typical azeotropic distillation system and describe the basic process of azeotropic distillation.
• Describe the basic process of azeotropic distillation in systems that do not use solvents.
Topic III: Azeotropic Columns, Part 2
• Identify process variables important to the operation of a typical azeotropic distillation system and describe how they can be monitored and controlled.
Topic IV: Extractive Columns, Part 1
• Compare and contrast the use and behavior of an extractive solvent and an azeotropic solvent.
• Identify the major parts of a typical extractive distillation system and describe the basic process of extractive distillation.
Topic V: Extractive Columns, Part 2
• Identify process variables important to the operation of a typical extractive distillation system and describe how they can be monitored and controlled.
Topic VI: Vacuum Columns, Part 1
• State advantages of distilling material at a reduced pressure in a vacuum column.
• Identify the major parts of a typical vacuum distillation system and describe the basic process of vacuum distillation.
Topic VII: Vacuum Columns, Part 2
• Identify process variables important to the operation of a typical vacuum distillation system and describe how they can be monitored and controlled.
• Identify abnormal conditions that can affect the operation of a vacuum distillation system and describe how these conditions may be dealt with.
