The sketch map of the logic in process simulation and optimization. In the recycled cycle of the novel distillation series (see green streams in Fig. 1), the reflux ratio of ethanol column and the distillate flows of the butanol and water columns were influenced by each other. An iterative strategy was developed to determine the parameters (inner the green boundary). The optimized condition was obtained by several iterations
