There are economic and environmental benefits when we recover solvent for reuse,
especially when expensive solvents and large volumes are involved. An industry has
been recovering solvents for many decades at facilities. Solvent recovery is a routine
practice in the pharmaceutical industry when it is technically and economically viable for
the particular waste stream. Various waste streams being generated at an API (Active
pharmaceutical ingredient) synthesis plant. The goal is to investigate those streams that
could not be most easily recovered with traditional separation and purification processes.
As a first step in that analysis, the recovery of toluene & methanol solvent from a waste
stream in the synthesis was considered. Here it is very difficult to separate this complex
mixture, so that for separation of this complex mixture azeotropic distillation method is to
establish by using the water and an entrainer.
