The recovery and separation of organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), ethanol
(EtOH), and methanol (MeOH) are important to protect the environment and save resources …

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

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

For the purpose of recycling resource and cleaner production, the extractive distillation
schemes with different ionic liquids as extractants are proposed to separate ethyl acetate …

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