We are currently working on a project with a chemical industry for zero liquid discharge. Can we use a machine to do the separation? If yes, how much separation time will it require to separate 5KL per 2 days with continuous flow.
Since nitrobenzene is partially soluble in water, it has phase splitting when its concentration is above solubility. So you will have 2 phases, and the nitrobenzene phase is easy to separate from the aqueous phase. I think that this is still occurring in this industry. but it will be present in water phase. The behavior of this mixture is similar to a water- sugar, or ethanol water mixtures, there is no machine to separate them. You have to use physical-chemical processes to promote separation, as in the case of distillation.
Nitro Benzene is a polar molecule, try to use polar solvant eg. DMSO
