Process intensification offers the potential to drastically reduce the energy consumption and
cost of producing chemicals from both bulk and distributed feedstocks. This review article …

The major intrinsic obstacle of extractive distillation is the high energy consumption. It is an
actual problem for reducing energy consumption of extractive distillation processes. Two …

The separation of the acetone/n-heptane mixture is challenging in the industry due to the
presence of a minimum-boiling azeotrope which attracts considerable interest in recent …

Detailed energy and exergy analyses are conducted for a stacked complex sequence (SCS)
and alternatives for a ternary zeotropic distillation problem. Multi-objective optimizations are …

A systematic process intensification method via comparative grassroots and retrofit designs
for distillation is proposed. Restricting to the ternary system, a case study of multicomponent …

This study explores the economic, energetic, exergy efficiency, and environmental benefits
of energy integration in pressure-swing distillation, focusing on the separation of …

In this work, stacked complex sequences are studied as an alternative to thermal coupling
for reducing cost and energy consumption in ternary zeotropic separations. Column stacking …

Distillation configurations are optimized and compared for two industrially relevant C6–C7
aliphatic hydrocarbon mixtures: methylcyclopentane/cyclohexane/methylcyclohexane …

On the basis of the integration of reaction and distillation systems, a systematic method is
proposed for optimizing the distillation sequence with components separated individually by …

To further reduce the energy consumption, investment and operation cost of the distillation
process, DWC-B and FTCDC are used to strengthen the separation process of ibuprofen …
