摘要: This research assessed experimentally the performance of a small-scale ethanol/water distillation column. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica® 7.0, considering significance level 90% (p < 0.10), to evaluate if independent variables (feed stream ethanol concentration and flow rate) influence on production in accordance with Brazilian legislation, i.e., Hydrous Ethanol Fuel content between 92.5 93.8 wt%. The results demonstrated that feed rate were significant for both top product recovery ratio. ratio above 80%, demonstrating column is satisfactory.
