Solvents (external recycling): history & development. Part 2

Abstract

The formation of azeotropes, ie constant boiling mixtures of two or more components that cannot be separated by fractional distillation, is frequently a problem in solvent recovery. Generally, if the azeotrope is a mixture of solvents containing little or no water, the simplest and most economical solution is to find an outlet for the mixed distillate.
