In order to research the possibility of separating the azeotrope of ethyl acetate + acetonitrile with ionic liquid as the extractant. Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria for the ternary system ethyl acetate + acetonitrile + 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([OMIBF4) were measured at 101.32 kPa using a recirculation still. The results showed that the VLE of the ternary system was different from that of the binary system. The ionic liquid (IL) studied showed a slight crossover salt effect, which changed the relative volatility of ethyl acetate to acetonitrile and eliminated the azeotropic point when the mole fraction of IL in the liquid phase was greater than 0.05. Therefore, [OMIBF4 can be used as the extractant of extractive distillation for ethyl acetate + acetonitrile system, the suitable mole fraction of [OMIBF4 is about 10%.

Abstract A mathematical model for an ultrasound-assisted vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) system developed in Aspen Custom Modeler is exported to Aspen Plus flowsheeting environment to form a block in the software library to represent a single stage flash separation unit. The block is then arranged in series to mimic an ultrasonically intensified distillation process. As a case study, an ethanol/ethyl acetate separation process is examined. The results show that a 99 mol% ethyl acetate recovery is established when a series of 27 flash VLE devices are used. The system is also evaluated for other minimum boiling azeotropic mixtures, and consistent results are obtained, thus revealing the potentials of ultrasound-assisted system as an alternative strategy for azeotropic mixture separations.
