Determination of Water Content of Crude Oil by Azeotropic Distillation (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0121-YJL)

Azeotropic distillation refers to a series of techniques that destroy the azeotropic composition in distillation to carry out distillation or fractionation, and use two organic solvents to form an azeotrope for distillation.
Azeotropic distillation, also known as azeotropic distillation, is to add a selected third component to the separated mixed liquid to form a new azeotrope with one or more components in the original mixture. And its boiling point is lower than that of any original component. In this way, the new azeotrope is distilled from the top of the column during distillation, while the bottom product is a pure component, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the original mixture.
Azeotropic distillation is suitable for separating mixed liquids with only azeotropic composition and relative volatility close to 1.
