The separation of azeotropic mixtures is an "old" engineering problem that cannot be solved by simple distillation processes. One the current ways to overcome this use other types processes, such as extractive/azeotropic or liquid–liquid extraction, where entrainers extraction solvents are applied. Liquid–liquid processes have been emerging appealing alternatives because they do not require high amounts energy, volatile organic compounds pressures. In work, deep eutectic (DES) tested in...
