Background
Pure component data are needed for process design: Densities of
relevant components can tell us whether two liquid phases
are easy to separate.
The normal boiling point of a component can tell us whether it
is apossible candidate as the solvent for an extractive
distillation /azeotropic distillation process.
Comparing the normal boiling points of two components can give
us arough idea whether it is easy to separate them via
distillation.

Key Teaching Points
The HYSYS Databank contains properties of purecomponents.
This data can be used to make decisions about separation
processes.

Recommended Further Exercises
For extractive distillation, the normal boiling point of
theselected solvent is typically much higher than the normalboiling
points of the two components to be separated.Phenol is considered a
good solvent for separation of thetoluene/n-heptane binary mixture.
Find out the normal
boiling points of the following three components: Toluene
n-heptane
Phenol
