Distillation Process Optimization of One-Step MIBK Synthesis from Isopropanol

Taking advantage of PROII software,the distillation process of one-step synthesis of MIBK from isopropanol is simulated and optimized,and adopting the extractive distillation idea,an effective separation technique is introduced in this article,which can improve the yield of MIBK by 280%,and the unit energy consumption is lowered from 12.79 ton to 8.27 ton steam.Also the normal distillation column and extractive distillation column are set up,and experiments are done to testify the whole distillation process.
