“…However, since water and 3-methoxybutyl acetate form an azeotropic system, traditional distillation processes cannot easily separate the azeotropic mixture, and special separation processes are therefore required. In industry, the methods commonly used for separating azeotropic mixtures are azeotropic distillation, , extractive distillation, , reactive distillation, , and liquid–liquid extraction. − Among them, liquid–liquid extraction is a simple and low-energy-consumption method that requires a simple device, making it ideal for separating and purifying various azeotropic mixtures . Therefore, liquid–liquid extraction is an effective method for separating 3-methoxybutyl acetate from its azeotropic solution.…”
