Problems solved by technology

Due to the tendency of these components in mixtures to form azeotropes, azeotrope compositions, or azeotrope-like compositions, these close boiling points make it difficult to effectively separate R-134 from R-134 by conventional distillation methods
In order to achieve separation by conventional distillation methods, it is necessary to operate tall columns with impractically high heights at high reflux ratios, which can result in high capital and production costs and can also result in significant loss of product yield

Data have been corrected using a nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) solution model. NRTL (S.I., Sandler, "Chemical and Engineering Thermodynamics" 3rd Edition (1999), John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, Chapter 7) activity coefficient (γ i ) model is given by:

[0221] Separation of mixtures containing 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane .

[0222] Using Aspen Plus TM (Aspen Technology, Inc., version 13.2, Cambridge, MA) process simulator, for the use of [emim][Tf 2 N] as extractant, separated by extractive distillation containing 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (also known as HFC-134a or R-134a) and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane ( Also known as HFC-134 or R-134) mixtures are simulated.

[0223] Think of ionic liquids as non-dissociated liquids with extremely low vapor pressures. The nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model (S.I., Sandler, "Chemical and Engineering Thermodynamics", 3rd edition (1999), John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, Chapter 7) was used to simulate the relationship between ionic liquids and Liquid-phase interactions between fluorocarbons and the vapor phase modeled using the Peng-Robinson equation of state.
