摘要

Azeotropic distillation is a special distillation method for separating liquid mixtures, which has better distillation effect and obvious advantages of energy saving and consumption reduction compared with traditional distillation. In this paper, the latest research progress of azeotropic distillation technology in separation, synthesis and energy saving at home and abroad is reviewed. The research progress in separation is reflected in product separation and product purification, and the research progress in energy saving is reflected in heat pump distillation and dividing wall column distillation respectively. Existing studies have shown that azeotropic distillation technology can produce higher purity target products than conventional distillation for the separation and purification of azeotropic or near-boiling compounds. Heat pump distillation and dividing wall column distillation are used in azeotropic distillation field, resulting in obvious energy-saving effect for distillation equipment. The follow-up research direction of new separation technology with the goal of reducing energy consumption and exploring new materials as entraining agents should be studied in detail, which provides certain guidance for the development of distillation technology in China’s chemical industry.
