초록
본 연구에서는 에탄올-n-헵탄 이성분계 공비 혼합물의 분리를 위해 압력변환 증류공정(pressure-swing distillation, PSD)을 사용하여 전산모사 및 공정 최적화를 진행하였다. 저압-고압 컬럼 배열과 고압-저압 컬럼 배열을 통해 고순도 에탄올과 고순도 n-헵탄을 얻기 위한 압력변환 증류공정을 수행하였다. 전산모사 결과, 저압-고압 컬럼 배열 공정보다 고압-저압 컬럼배열 공정을 사용할 경우 heat duty 값이 약 5.8% 정도 감소되어 에너지 소모량 면에서 더 경제적임을 확인할 수 있었다.
In the present study, modelling and optimization of ethanol-n-heptane separation process were performed using pressure-swing distillation. The pressure-swing distillation process optimization was performed to obtain high purity ethanol and high purity n-heptane into a low-high pressure columns configuration and a high-low pressure columns configuration. The results of pressure-swing distillation process simulation and optimization using high-low pressure column configuration showed a reduced total reboiler heat duty at 5.8% which confirmed a more economical energy consumption.
