Effects of salt concentration on vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of azeotropic mixture in ultrasonic distillation system

Methanol and methyl acetate form an azeotrope in their mixtures at 34.78 mole % of methanol. It is difficult and may be impossible to separate azeotropic mixture using conventional distillation column. This phenomenon gives big challenges in the chemical industry in order to solve it. In this stu...
