Abstract
A systematic methodology for screening and designing of Ionic Liquid (IL)-based
separation processes is proposed and demonstrated using several case studies of both
aqueous and non-aqueous systems, for instance, ethanol + water, ethanol + hexane,
benzene + hexane, and toluene + methylcyclohexane. The best four ILs of each mixture
are [mmim][dmp], [emim][bti], [emim][etso4] and [hmim][tcb], respectively. All of
them were used as entrainers in the extractive distillation. A process simulation of each
system was carried out and showed a lower both energy requirement and solvent usage
as compared to conventional organic solvent process.
