Batch distillation process for the separation of various components from turpentine oil
Abstract
Batch distillation needs rapid and robust mathematical models that can easily predict the distribution of components in mixture especially impurities. Applying batch distillation simulation software can lead to significant savings in process development and experimentation costs. The purification process of turpentine oil mixture is simulated in the batch distillation process by Aspen BatchSep simulation software. The experimental works have been done in a batch distillation pilot plant with capacity of 180 liters. The separation efficiency is 81.36% with the purity of α-pinene is 99%. The experimental results are the base for further investigations of an industrial batch distillation.
