Ethanol/Water, Physical and Chemical Properties for Separation-Process Design

摘要

Accurate property data are essential for the design and evaluation of new ethanol/water separation processes. Important physical, chemical, and thermodynamic properties of ethanol, water, and their mixtures are compiled here. Property data are also included for major fermentation by-products which can affect the ethanol/water separation design. Data for selected separating agents are also included. The following data are presented: nonideal vapor phase-the fugacity coefficient; liquid specific volumes; vapor pressures and the reference fugacity; vapor/liquid equilibrium; the activity coefficient; thermal properties-vapor and liquid enthalpies; salt effect on ethanol/water equilibrium, and multicomponent equilibrium modeling.
