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

Hybrid reactive-extractive distillation (RED) has been popular for separating azeotropic
mixtures, as it combines the chemical reaction and physical azeotropic separation in a …

This perspective article provides insights into the emerging field of ethylene glycol (EG)
based reactive-extractive distillation (RED) for azeotropic mixture separation, challenging …

Multicomponent liquid mixtures, particularly azeotropes, are extensively utilized in the
chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and other processing industries. Energy-saving and …

Side-stream extractive distillation is used in separating azeotropic mixtures due to its
advantages in energy-saving. However, environmental and safety aspects should also be …

This study introduces a novel approach to the initial design of bioethanol dehydration,
incorporating process fluctuations. Unlike previous studies, which overlooked fluctuations …

It is of great significance and necessity to develop a sustainable and efficient separation
scheme of butanone (MEK), ethanol (EtOH), and water, which are usually formed during the …

The clean and efficient separation of ethyl acetate/ethanol/water azeotrope is of great
significance for the production of high-purity ethyl acetate. In this study, a highly efficient …

Reducing the energy requirements is one essential pillar in the effort to reduce the carbon
