    The document describes a process for recycling acetonitrile and toluene solvents from a siloxane polymerization unit. There are three feed streams and seventeen pieces of equipment involved, including mixers, distillation columns, heat exchangers, extraction columns, and pumps. The process separates the solvents from the siloxane and water using distillation and extraction, and recycles over 84% of the acetonitrile and over 86% of the toluene back to the polymerization unit.

    The document describes a solvent separation process design to recover and recycle acetonitrile and toluene back into a siloxane polymerization unit.

    The process is designed to separate and recover acetonitrile and toluene solvents from three incoming streams to recycle them back into the siloxane polymerization unit.

    There are three main streams entering the recovery unit after the polymerization process: a feed stream, a recycle stream, and a waste stream.

    Introduction Siloxane Process

    We were asked to design a solvent seperation process for recycling Acetonitrile and Toluene solvents back into the siloxane polymerization unit. After polimerization process, there are three streams entering Recovery Unit.
