Analysis and extension of the Furter equation, and its application in the simulation of saline extractive distillation columns

ABSTRACT Simulation of saline extractive distillation columns is a difficult task owing to the high nonlinearity of the rigorous models that represent these systems. The use of simple models to obtain initial estimates of equilibrium compositions may improve the stability and rate of convergence. On...
