Pressure-swingdistillation( PSD)is based on the fact that azeotropic composition varies with the operational pressure, by whichazeotrope is then separated effectively. The azeotrope of tetrahydrofuran-ethanol characters that azeotropic pointappears in the vapor-liquid equilibrium, which makes it hard to separate tetrahydrofuran-ethanol liquid mixtureexperimentally and industrially. PSD is expected to fix this kind of separations effectively. In the research a dualcolumn process flow of tetrahydrofuran-ethanol pressure-swing distillation was put forward based on thermodynamicsanalysis. Aspen Plus simulation of pressure-swing distillation process of tetrahydrofuran-ethanol azeotrope wascarried out via NRTL-RK method. The technological parameters were optimized based on the process analysis. Itshows that tetrahydrofuran-ethanol azeotrope can be well separated by means of a two-column pressure-swingdistillation process, which is composed of atmospheric tower and high pressure tower(0. 8 MPa).
