Bio-based pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) is a new type of sustainable isocyanate, which has important applications in coatings, foams, and adhesives. Technical-economic analysis of the PDI distillation process can promote the industrialization of PDI. The thermal analysis of PDI facilitates the smooth running of the simulation process. A new PDI heat capacity prediction method was established. The distillation processes of a crude PDI solution by conventional distillation and double-effect distillation were studied. Countercurrent double-effect distillation showed the best energy-saving effects in all double-effect distillation. However, combined with total annual charge (TAC), parallel double-effect distillation was the optimal method for PDI purification. Parallel double-effect distillation can significantly reduce the TAC of production PDI, which is 33.39% lower than that of the conventional distillation. The study demonstrates a clear economic incentive for reducing the cost of PDI purification by parallel double-effect distillation.

Pressure Swing Distillation (PSD) is the only advanced technology that does not require the addition of third components to the system to enhance the separation of azeotropic mixtures. It outperforms homogeneous distillation for separating pressure-sensitive azeotropic mixtures. In this study, we aimed to separate methanol and toluene using the Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) and Aspen Plus thermodynamic calculation models to simulate a binary homogeneous azeotropic system.

Acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) is an alternative biofuel. However, the energy requirement of ABE recovery by distillation is considered elevated (> 15.2 MJ fuel/Kg-ABE), due to the low concentration of ABE from fermentation broths (between 15 and 30 g/l).
