A Study on the Separation Characteristics of Multistage Distillation Tower for Purification of Waste Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA)
The organic solvent is used in many industries. Generation of waste organic solvent is continuously increasing. The 2009 years total domestic production organic solvent is in use 21% total designation waste production with 682 thousand tons. processes of a waste organic solvent and management issue is increasing in advanced countries. To resolve this problem, evaluate the characteristics of a batch distillation column purification to propose alternative. Therefore, this study compares a refinement recovery characteristic of simple distillation and 10-stage distillation tower. It grasps a characteristic regarding refinement recovery of the waste organic solvent (Propylene Glycol Mnomethyl Ether Acetate)PGMEA which occurred at LCD processes through study of a hundred steps of distillation tower. In this study, the evaluate scale-up separation characteristics difference using 10-stage and 100-stage batch distillation column. The actual process of making a demonstration plant appointed by using waste organic solvents of high purity propose a method for recycling.
