Extractive distillation of methylcyclohexane (MCH) and toluene using phenol as the selective solvent, adapted from Tiverios and Van Brunt (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2000, 39, 1614). Phenol raises toluene's relative volatility away from MCH enough to split an otherwise close-boiling pair; a solvent-recovery column then splits toluene from the phenol (reported as its own product rather than recycled).
The flowsheet
The solved topology — every unit op's real duty, conversion, or split, read straight off a genuine converged solve.
The stream table
Every stream's flow, temperature, pressure, and composition — real converged numbers, not placeholders.
