Lactic acid production is highly affected by the fermentation pH. The need for neutralizing
agents and the salts produced during fermentation have a significant impact on the overall …

Reactive distillation (RD) is a great process intensification concept taking advantage of the
synergy created when combining (catalyzed) reaction and separation into a single unit …

Petroleum refinery wastewater treatment plants produce a significant amount of oily sludge,
a hazardous waste that requires proper disposal. It is necessary to develop technologies to …

This paper proposes the continuous production process of ethyl propionate by reactive
distillation and the energy-saving heat pump reactive distillation process. The process is …

Current research focuses on new energy alternatives which could compete with the
traditional energy sources based on fossil fuels, and eventually diminish the consequences …

For enzyme-catalyzed reactions, batch processes using stirred tank reactors are the state-of-
