Abstract: According to the short-cut residue curves for the ternary system of 2-methoxyethanol-water- entrainers，isopropyl acetate was chosen as an entrainer for the separation of 2-methoxyethanol -water mixture by batch azeotropic distillation. Then the residue curve determination experiment was completed and the residue curves for the ternary system of 2-methoxyethanol-water-isopropyl acetate were plotted based on the experiment data. A batch azeotropic distillation process was proposed for the separation of 2-methoxyethanol-water mixture. The effect of the amount of entrainer on the yield of 2-methoxyethanol was studied and the proper ratio of entrainer to feed was obtained. When w(isopropyl acetate)︰w(water)=2～2.5，especially，one-time yield of 2-methoxyethanol was more than 90%.

摘要： 通过绘制乙二醇单甲醚-水-共沸剂的简捷剩余曲线，提出了以乙酸异丙酯作为间歇共沸精馏法分离乙二醇单甲醚-水物系的共沸剂。然后完成剩余曲线数据的测定实验，根据实验数据绘制乙二醇单甲醚-水-乙酸异丙酯三元物系的剩余曲线图，确定了乙二醇单甲醚-水共沸物系的分离工艺。并通过实验研究了共沸剂加入量对乙二醇单甲醚回收率的影响，从而确定了适宜的共沸剂配比：当共沸剂与原料中水的质量比为2～2.5时，乙二醇单甲醚的一次性收率在90%以上。
