azeotrope, which has become one of the hot spots in solvent research in
recent years. In this work, choline chloride (ChCl)/glycerol (GI) (1:2)
and ChCl/ethylene glycol (EG) (1:2) were used as extractants to study
the extractive distillation process of isopropanol (IPA) dehydration.
The high separation performance of the choline-based DESs was
explained from the point of quantum chemistry. Economic impact,
exergy loss, and environmental impact were compared between the new
processes and the traditional process. The results displayed that the
total cost of the two processes with DES as the extractant and using the
heat pump process was reduced by 30.256, 30.918, and 36.229%,
respectively. It saved a lot of cost and improved the thermodynamic
efficiency. In terms of environmental impact, compared with the traditional process, the ChCl/GI (1:2) process reduced the
emission of toxic and harmful substances by 39.94%, greatly improving environmental friendliness. The above results showed that
the choline-based DESs performed excellently in the extractive distillation process for the separation of low-carbon alcohol
azeotropes. Therefore, the development of new choline-based DESs is of great significance to the green, environmental protection
and sustainable development of chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

4. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
In this study, three common criteria were used to evaluate the
process design, including economic impact, exergy loss, and
environmental impact analysis.
4.1. Assumptions. Suppose that the analysis of the whole
process is carried out under the following assumptions.
1 All processes are steady-state operations.
2 Heat loss is ignored.
3 Kinetic energy and potential energy are ignored.
4 The pressure drop of the whole process is ignored.
5 The solution is under equilibrium condition.47

where the total capital cost (TCC) is composed of the column

HPED process also includes the compressor cost and the
auxiliary heat exchanger cost. The annual operation cost
(AOC) is composed of high-pressure steam, condensate, and
power consumption. The cost recovery period is set to 3 years,
and the annual operating time is 8000 h/year.
To obtain the optimal TAC, the sequential iterative
optimization process of the IPA dehydration process was
established, as shown in Figure 9.
