The huge amount of solvents used in the semi-conductor and display industry typically result in waste of valuable solvents which often form complex azeotropic mixtures. This study explored a recovery process of a quaternary waste solvent, comprising methyl 2-hydroxybutyrate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethyl lactate, and ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate. In this study, a novel shortcut column method with a graphical approach was exploited for the distillation column design of complex quaternary azeotropic mixtures. As a result, the proposed shortcut method and design procedure solved the complex separation paths successfully with less computational efforts while achieving all requirements for component purity.
