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

This work explored the possibility of using mixed entrainer in a hybrid reactive-extractive
distillation to improve the sustainability of the recovery process for the ternary azeotropic …

Nowadays, any industrial process must not only respond to market requirements but also be
sustainable. Process intensification (PI) offers promising opportunities toward enhancing the …

This work presents a hybrid stochastic-deterministic algorithm for optimal design of process
flowsheets, ie, finding the optimal design variables and operating conditions of multiple …

Incorporating sustainability metrics into the design of economically viable and
environmentally responsible processes is crucial for achieving overall sustainability …

Background Here we analysed the possibility of improving the sustainability performance for
the recovery of dichloromethane and methanol from a binary azeotropic mixture using …

Levulinic acid is considered among the top twelve chemicals from biomass in terms of
market potential, due to its considerable number of applications. Levulinic acid is obtained …

The development of integrated biorefineries and the greater utilization of biomass resources
to reduce dependence on fossil fuel‐derived products require research emphasis not just on …

From the time levulinic acid was listed as one of the top-12 building blocks for the sugars-
high value compounds conversion, the interest in this compound increased. As part of its …

During production of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) by propylene hydration, a mixture of diisopropyl
ether (DIPE) and IPA is obtained as a byproduct. Because DIPE and IPA have similar boiling …
