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 …

This study aimed to further enhance the solvent stability and flux of organic solvent-resistant
nanofiltration (OSN) membranes. Based on hexane diamine cross-linked polyetherimide …

Ethyl acetate and n-hexane are two widely used organic solvents in chemical and
pharmaceutical industries; however, separation of their mixtures is very challenging due to …

As an essential environmental property, the octanol–water partition coefficient (KOW)
quantifies the lipophilicity of a compound and it could be further employed to predict toxicity …

In order to achieve the sustainable separation design of azeotropic mixtures, this study
proposed a systematic framework for distillation process optimization and intensification …

Aiming at achieving the high-purity recovery of ethanol (EtOH) and tert-butanol (TBA) from
industrial waste with low carbon emission, the processes intensified by hybrid reactive …

Multi-objective optimization (MOO) is frequently used to solve many practical problems of
chemical processes but process designers only need a limited number of valuable solutions …

Biodiesel is considered as one of the best resources to replace fossil fuels. There are a lot of
mixtures of methanol and hexane in the process of biodiesel production. In this study, a …
