The separation of acetonitrile-water mixtures is a challenging and significant task due to the
presence of azeotrope, for which three separation alternatives are proposed, including an …

The sustainable separation process for the recovery of acetonitrile from wastewater is
essential to achieve the circular economy and environmental protection. In this work, we …

We optimize the extractive distillation process for separating the acetonitrile–water
azeotropic mixture with ethylene glycol by using a multi-objective genetic algorithm for …

Acetonitrile is regarded as a key solvent in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the
volatility in acetonitrile supply in recent years, coupled with its relatively poor environmental …

Traditional technologies for solvent/water separation such as distillation and
chromatography remain energy intensive. State-of-the-art organic solvent nanofiltration …

In the present paper, a new extractive-azeotropic dividing wall column configuration is
designed to recover acetonitrile from wastewater instead of the conventional two-column …

Inherently safer design during the preliminary design stage is vital to reduce the potential
risks and accidents of new process design. So far, little effort has been paid to incorporating …

Ionic liquids (ILs) of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAC]), 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazolium proline ([EMIM][PRO]), and N, N, N-dimethyl-butylethanol amine glycolic …

The separation of acetonitrile (ACN) from an ACN‐water azeotrope is of particular interest to
industrial chemists and process engineers. In the work reported in this article, sugaring‐out …

Decarboxylation of biomass-derived fatty acids provides an important method for the
production of value-added alkane fuels and chemicals. Here, selective decarboxylative C–C …
