Background Volumetric heating techniques such as ohmic heating have emerged as
alternatives to conventional processing methods for diverse applications in the food industry …

Double-effect heat integration and mechanical heat pump technique are investigated for the
extractive distillation process of the acetone–methanol minimum boiling azeotropic mixture …

This paper proposes a novel extractive dividing wall distillation column, which has been
designed using a constrained stochastic multiobjective optimization technique. The …

In this paper, the energy-saving potential of an extractive dividing-wall column (EDWC) is
investigated. One potential drawback on the EDWC design is that two reboilers in the …

Nanoscale windows in graphene (nanowindows) have the ability to switch between open
and closed states, allowing them to become selective, fast, and energy-efficient membranes …

The applicability of ohmic heating, as a volumetric heating technique, has been explored in
various sectors of the food industry. The use of ohmic heating for essential oil extraction is …

Citronella oil was extracted from Cymbopogon nardus by ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation
(OAHD) and hydrodistillation (HD) and its specifications were studied by DPPH assay and …

This paper deals with design and control of an extractive dividing-wall distillation column
(EDWC) for ethanol dehydration using ethylene glycol as entrainer. An initial design, based …

In this paper, extractive distillation applies to separate acetonitrile/benzene/methanol, the
medicine is a compounding of multi-azeotropes via introducing chlorobenzene as a solvent …
