Distillation is by far the most important and most widely-used method of separation and
purification in the petroleum, chemicals and related industries, and it also consumes by far …

Several extractive distillation processes with DMSO as extractant are proposed to separate
isopropanol/1, 4-dioxane/water azeotropic mixtures in this study, including direct extractive …

Distillation remains the leading and most frequently adopted technique for the separation
and purification of condensable mixtures in numerous industries. However, the inherently …

For an in-depth investigation of the separation process in small-scale distillation columns,
knowledge about the exact vapor load inside the column is highly important. However, since …

For the separation of multi-component mixtures, compound distillation sequences (CDSs)
comprising simple distillation columns (SDCs) and dividing-wall columns (DWCs) offer the …

Introductory studies on the relationship between design and robustness of optimized
Dividing Wall Columns are presented. These columns are optimized multicriterially for …

A dividing wall column (DWC) is a prime example of process intensification, whereby
significant energy and cost savings can be achieved for some systems compared to …

Multiple dividing wall columns are a promising intensified process to reduce energy
consumption of conventional distillation sequences by around 50%. Their operation is of …
