RT Journal Article T1 Evaluation of VLEs for Binaries of Five Compounds Involved in the Production Processes of Cyclohexanone A1 Sosa, Adriel A1 Ortega, Juan A1 Fernández, Luis A1 Romero, Arturo A1 Santos López, Aurora A1 Lorenzo Fernández, David AB In an attempt to evaluate the separation of certain impurities that arise in some stages of the production of cyclohexanone, this work analyzed the possibility of removing five of these substances via rectification. Due to the scarcity of experimental vapor–liquid equilibrium data for most of the solutions in the effluent of the global process, prior knowledge of their behavior is required. In this work, two predictive models, UNIFAC and COSMO-RS, were used to determine a priori the possibility of obtaining, by distillation, the individual components of seven of the binaries formed by the combination of these five compounds. Since both procedures described quasi-ideal behavior for all the chosen solutions, the results are considered as an approximation, owing to the special nature of the studied systems. The results and characteristics of each system are discussed separately.
