Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for purifying phenol, by which the loss of a heat source is minimized, the amount used of steam is decreased, and efficiency of energy consumed in a process may be maximized. The method for purifying phenol includes a step of passing impurities including phenol, acetone and hydrocarbon, which are prepared using cumene as a raw material, via a plurality of distillation columns one by one, and performing azeotropic distillation, wherein the ratio of phenol and water at the uppermost end of the distillation column where the azeotropic distillation is performed, is from 60:40 to 65:35, for the optimized separation of the hydrocarbon.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dividing wall distillation column for producing high-purity n-butanol, and a method for the production of high-purity n-butanol by fractional distillation. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method which provides a dividing wall distillation column with crude n-butanol as a feed to perform a fractional distillation of n-butanol, and an apparatus thereof. The dividing wall distillation column of the present invention exhibits the effects of a two distillation column from only one distillation column, thereby reducing energy and the costs of installing the apparatus as compared to conventional distillation systems.
