Solvent comparison for extractive distillation of benzene?

25 February 2013 1 8K Report

Need to find out which solvent is most appropriate for the use of benzene ED. Weighing up advantages against disadvantages.

Joao F Gomes

There are several alternatives that I might suggest, but depends on the other component of your input mixture, for instance, for Benzene-Cyclohexane use aniline as solvent ; if you have a mixture of Acetone-Chloroform, you can use benzene as solvent. All depends on the composition of the mixture you have and also the existing azeotropes.
