About this document

Acetone-Chloroform Azeotropic Distillation by zein2000 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the separation of Acetone and Chloroform, which form azeotropes that cannot be separated by simple distillation due to their close boiling points. It describes an extractive distillation process using Di Methyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) as an entrainer to enhance separation efficiency. The flow sheet details the operation of two distillation columns, resulting in high-purity Acetone and Chloroform products.
