Abstract
© 2017 IEEE.Distillation is the most common method for separating components in chemical unit operation. In this study, Honeywell mini batch distillation column for laboratory scale is used for separating binary mixtures, ethanol and water. Nonlinear equations model of batch distillation column are presented in this paper based on component mass balance, vapor-liquid equilibrium and other physical characteristic. A reflux valve in the top of column is used as the input to control the amount of vapor into condenser and distillate product. The purity distillate is produced as the output of batch distillation column. The real nonlinear model parameters, based on experiment data, are calculated and simulated in Matlab.
