Abstract
The thermodynamic conditions that determine the presence of an azeotrope in a binary solution are developed and analyzed together with the criteria that define if the azeotrope has a maximum or minimum boiling point at constant pressure. It is shown that using simple models for describing vapor-liquid equilibria and vapor pressure data of the pure components it is possible to determine rather accurately how the azeotropic point will shift if the distillation is carried out at a different pressure or temperature. Examples are given on the use of the proposed method; these can be used as classroom material.
