Progressive depletion of conventional fossil fuels with increasing energy demand and
federal laws on environmental emissions have stimulated intensive research in improving …

This perspective paper features the process intensification (PI) application for advanced
distillation-based processes. Starting with the historical background of generic PI, we …

Distillation remains the leading and most frequently adopted technique for the separation
and purification of condensable mixtures in numerous industries. However, the inherently …

A thermally coupled azeotropic dividing wall column (ADWC) configuration is explored for
the separation of industrial wastewater to recycle the organic solvent tert-butanol. Heat …

Ethyl acetate (EAC) and isopropanol (IPOH) are important organic chemical raw materials.
During the production of ampicillin sodium, there are a large amount of waste water …

Two new power and cooling cogeneration systems based on Kalina cycle (KC) and
absorption refrigeration cycle (AC) are proposed and studied from thermodynamic and …

Abstract Acetonitrile and 1, 4-dioxane are significant organic compounds, which are widely
used in many chemical production processes. However, some pharmaceutical or chemical …

The present study deals with the multiobjective optimization (MOO) of retrofitted in situ algal
biodiesel process. Transesterification of the algal lipids is intensified using ultrasonication …

The algal biodiesel as a potential alternative to conventional petroleum fuel and first-
generation biofuel has been explored extensively but the efficacy of its production in a …

Distillation is a widespread separation process that accounts for the largest fraction of
energy consumed (∼ 40%) in process industries. It's very low energy efficiency has …
