I moved here the Advenced Theory section because it needs rephrasing. (e.g. "We can have", excessive capitalization) A reference would also be useful.-- Unconcerned 23:25, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
ADVANCED THEORY: There is another interesting phenomena that has been observed. Some azeotropic systems exhibit what is called "Multiplicity" i.e. Multiple steady states. For example the ternary system Methanol - Toluene - MethylButyrate exhibit this Multiplicity. For the same conditions of input such as Molar feed rate, composition, Reflux rate, Distillate flow rate and Column temperature profiles; we can observe different product compositions, Temperature profile and internal flow rates. We can have for example 3 steady states: 2 Stable steady states and 1 unstable steady state.
The negative/positive and minimum-boiling/maximum boiling ideas don't scan, here. Someone who actually groks them needs to say what's varying. I suspect it's the boiling-point temperature varying vs. % concentration of the solute in water. At a certain concentration the boiling point of the mixture reaches a minimum; at any other concentration it will be higher; the concentration with the lowest boiling point is called the "minimum-boiling" or "negative boiling" concentration. I'm 99% sure this is what's meant, but I don't recognize the terminology and I'm too wikilazy to go look it up. Maybe later when the caffeine kicks in... Blair P. Houghton 22:27, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I changed the definition, so that it was more accurate and also will clear up the last quesiton.
I tried to make a numbered list that would look good, but I don't know much about how to format this.
Are the percentages mentioned by mass, mole or liquid volume ? It should be specified, ethanol-water, 95.5wt% ethanol, (wt=weight)
Every source I looked at indicates that the azeotrope for 1-propanol is at 72% alcohol by weight and that the azeotrope for 2-propanol is at 88% alcohol by weight. The graph given in the article is labeled 2-propanol, but shows the azeotrope to be at approximately 70%. Something is not right here. Karl Hahn ( T) ( C) 16:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The text to the heterogenic mixture scheme ("The dotted vertical line indicates the composition of the combined layers of the distillate whenever both layers are present in the original mixture.") is a bit cryptic, could be rewritten.
Btw, why are Heteroazeotropes always minimum boiling mixtures? —Preceding

I fail to see the relevance of chemical REactive methods to this article. To all but the most uninformed, the fact that you can react one chemical compound and not another will come as no surprise. Since what you are left with is NOT the two original compounds, (in a binary mixture), it seems to me that this entire section is irrelevant. How does selective chemical reaction earn an entire (small) section? There is NOTHING special about this method with azeotropes as contrasted with any other binary mixture, is there? SO: I recommend the entire section be removed 2) If not removed then it should be called it what it is: Purification by Chemical Reaction -- certainly not "chemical action" (what? as compared to "non" chemical action or chemical "non-reaction"? Separation implies that the two compounds retain their individual identity (IMHO) and covalent bond formation is clearly not in that ball-park (conrast with molecular sieves, for example). 69.40.241.198 ( talk) 03:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Are there any methods for predicting azeotropes?-- MagnInd ( talk) 20:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, unless I missed it, but it talks about curves on graphs touching etc. That says nothing about how it happens which I guess must be that some weak bonding occurs between the chemicals, but that's AFAICS unstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.109.248 ( talk) 22:21, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
