The invention relates to a novel
azeotropic distillation process method and a device thereof, in particular to a process method which use a septal
azeotropic distillation column (5) to produce absolute
alcohol, and a device thereof. The septal
azeotropic distillation column (5) is achieved by arranging a
septal wall (6) in the azeotropic
distillation column in the vertical direction, and the
septal wall (6) divides the space of the azeotropic
distillation column into three areas with different functions; a public
distillation part (1), a
dehydration part (2) and a side stripper part (3). The
alcohol solution to be separated is filled to the azeotropic distillation column from the upper part of the
dehydration part (2), and the absolute
alcohol is obtained at the bottom of the
dehydration part (2); ternary
azeotrope is steamed out of the top of the column, and condensed by a condenser (7) and then splitted into light phase solution and heavy phase solution in a
phase splitter; the light phase solution (entrainer) reflows and the heavy phase solution is the feed stock in the side stripper part (3), and little water containing alcohol is obtained at the bottom of the side stripper part (3). The device and the process method of the invention can produce the absolute alcohol, and can simplify the process, reduce the
energy consumption and the cost of the divices.
