Solventsrecovers
Solventsrecovers refers to the set of processes and technologies used to reclaim solvents from industrial processes and waste streams. The intent is to minimize solvent losses, reduce hazardous waste, lower operating costs, and improve environmental performance by enabling reuse or proper disposal of solvents.
Common methods include distillation (fractional and vacuum), azeotropic or entrainer-assisted distillation, membrane separation (pervaporation, selective permeation),
Applications span pharmaceutical manufacturing, coatings and paints, electronics cleaning, chemical production, and food processing. Economic and
Challenges involve dealing with azeotropes and complex solvent mixtures, variability in input streams, potential contamination, and
Related topics include solvent recovery, waste solvent management, and the design of distillation and adsorption systems.
