Acetonitrile
Project Background
Acetonitrile is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used as a solvent or reactant. It is often necessary to separate acetonitrile from water in the process of solvent production or reuse. Due to the azeotropic of acetonitrile and water, the azeotropic point at atmospheric pressure is 76.3 ℃, of which the mass of acetonitrile is 84%, which cannot be achieved by ordinary distillation. The current separation methods are mainly (salt) extractive distillation, pressure swing distillation and membrane pervaporation dehydration.
