In this study, simulation of distillation process for the mixture of exo-tetrahydrodicylcopentadiene (exo-THDCP) and endo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (endo-THDCP) was carried out. Minimum reflux ratio and minimum number of stages were calculated to obtain products having 99.0 wt% of each components, respectively. Theoretical number of stages was estimated from the correlation of number of stages and reflux ratio. Optimal feed tray location that minimized the reboiler heat duty was also determined. Besides, the vapor-liquid equilibria for this mixture at 101.3 kPa were reported.
