    The document discusses a project to separate a mixture of acetonitrile and n-propanol using extractive distillation with N-methyl pyrrolidone as the entrainer. Specifically, it aims to separate and recycle acetonitrile and n-propanol, which are widely used in chemical industries but can cause pollution if discharged. The document notes distillation is an efficient separation method and uses the NRTL thermodynamic model. It includes a master table with molar flow rates and fractions for acetonitrile, n-propanol, and N-methyl pyrrolidone in the mixture and distillation columns.

    Project - Extractive Distillation For Separation Of Acetonitrile/N-

    Propanol Using N -Methyl Pyrrolidone As Entrainer


    Name- Navin Kumar
    Institute Name - Dr. S. S. Bhatnagar University Institute of Chemical Engineering and
    Technology

    Background & Description:

    Acetonitrile and n-propanol are widely applied in chemical industries which can be used as mobile
    phase in liquid chromatography and electrolytes as mixture of acetonitrile N-propanol and water in fine
    chemical industry, which may cause environmental pollution if discharged directly. Therefore, the
    separation and recycle of these two chemicals are necessary. Typically, distillation is accepted as an
    efficient method for separating and purifying the mixture.

    Thermodynamic Model used – NRTL
