Hello

 

I am current handling a school project with a goal of separation of chemical products; MTBE, Methanol and 1-Hexane from a chemial waste solution tank. The chemical waste solution tanks contains of MTBE, Methanol, 1-Hexane and waste water.

Due to the low boiling points in the chemicals, MTBE, Methanol and 1-Hexane, ranging from 50 to 68 degrees. Is it advisable to use heating to evaporate the chemicals mixture of MTBE,Methanol and 1 Hexane from the waste solution, leaving waste water behind? The chemicals (MTBE,Methanol and 1-Hexane) in their vapor state will rise into a condenser to convert them back into their liquid state and collection is as follows.

Agree with Breizh, it can be carbon or even stripping depending on the composition, also what is the final specs required in the effluent?
