Abstract

Possibility of the use of dimethylsulfoxide-ethylene glycol binary separating agent for extractive rectification of ethanol-water and acetone-chloroform azeotropic mixtures has been considered. In both cases, the synergetic effect of binary separating agent has been detected. Upon the extractive rectification of the acetone-chloroform mixture, the assumption of a synergetic effect provides lower energy consumption upon separation compared to individual separating agents.
