Separation of Water-Acetone Mixture Using Suitable Entrainer (Simulation)

Acetone and Water mixture formed azeotrope and inflections point depending on the operating temperature and pressure. Hence, this mixture cannot be separated by using simple distillation. In this work, a systematic study of the separation of acetone water with the addition of entrainer by extractive...
