Abstract
Total annual costs of simple rectification, liquid extraction with rectification, azeotropic rectification, and extractive rectification with reference to the separation of a mixture of acetic acid and water are compared. The process design, cost estimation, and the optimization of these processes were carried out using an ASPEN PLUS simulation software package.
