Dimethyl carbonate, a pivotal organic solvent, has experienced significant growth in
consumption and an expansion of production capacity in China in recent years. The primary …

The reactive-extractive distillation (RED) has the advantages of combining the beneficial
features of both reaction and separation processes. Relative to the conventional reactive or …

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

The need for greater sustainability for the production of fuels and chemicals has spurred
significant research to rethink energy use in the chemical industry, and eventually substitute …

Sustainable process for the separation of ternary azeotropic mixture tetrahydrofuran/ethanol/
methanol should be developed to recycle value-added organic components and protect …

In this work, a systematic method for conceptual design and multi-objective optimization of
an energy-efficient and sustainable reactive/extractive distillation (RED) process is proposed …

This work explores the recovery of ethyl acetate (EtAC) and methanol (MeOH) from
wastewater stream using three different extractive distillation (ED) processes, ie, the triple …

The separation of the ternary nonideal system ethyl acetate (EtAC)/ethanol (EtOH)/water
with multiazeotropes is very important since they are always generated in the production …

Currently, limited efforts have focused on the multi-objective optimization and effective
control of the side-stream extractive distillation processes (EDS). Herein, the EDS and a heat …

The energy-efficiency of the traditional distillation-based processes are low, which results in
waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, a sustainable extractive …
