Influence of the Gas Phase Non Ideality on the Efficiency of a Distillation Column

Abstract

Chaouki Bendjaouahdou

The objective of this research is to study the influence of the non-ideality of the gas phase on the efficiency of a binary continuous distillation column. The column is loaded with a binary liquid mixture. The study is carried out by simulation. The study is carried out in order to highlight the influence of the non-ideality of gas phase on the performance of a binary continuous distillation column. A comparative study was performed in the case of an ideal and non-ideal behaviour of the gas phase occurs. The results obtained show the possibility of separation of the two components even in the case of the non-ideality behaviour of the gas phase despite the use of a great number of trays.
