Monoterpenes derived from various biomass constitute an important platform for
synthesizing fragrances, intermediates, and pharmaceuticals. In this review, the most recent …

Abstract he thermal safety is always a challenging topic in the case of batch reactors
carrying exothermic reactions. To reduce the risk of thermal runaway from both perspectives …

Optimal operation policies in batch reactors are obtained using dynamic optimisation
technique. Two different types of optimisation problems, namely, maximum conversion and …

The condensation reaction of furfural (F) on acetone (Ac) gives a high added value product,
the 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAc), used as aroma in alcohol free drinks, ice, candies …

The economic attractiveness of an industrial process depends a large extent on its safe and
reliable operation. The inherently safer design can help reduce the potential hazard on a …

This paper addresses a systematic methodology for batch and semi-batch reactor design
and optimisation for both ideal and non-ideal mixing. It can be applied to non-isothermal and …

A wide range of optimisation methodologies exist for solving optimal control trajectory
problems. With most approaches it is necessary to solve iteratively, starting from an …

A methodology, which determines the operating conditions simultaneously optimising the
chemical yield and considering the safety aspect, has been developed for a chemical …

The process industry is confronted with rising demands for flexibility and efficiency. One way
to achieve this is modular process plants, which consist of pre-manufactured modules with …

This work investigates how batch reactors can be optimized to increase the yield of a
desired product coupling two appealing techniques for process control and optimization: the …
