In the past, the research in molecular separation membranes prepared through sol–gel
technologies has been dominated by ceramic membranes. Especially, silica membranes …

This paper reviews the investigated applications of membrane reactors for in situ water
removal during catalytic reactions in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and petrochemical …

The synthesis of 1, 1-dibutoxyethane was carried out in a simulated moving-bed pilot unit
LICOSEP 12-26 (Novasep, France) with 12 columns packed with the commercial ion …

Certain acetals can be produced from renewable resources (bioalcohols) and seem to be
good candidates for different applications, such as oxygenated diesel additives. This paper …

Equilibrium reactive distillation (RD) process simulation and economic evaluation were
carried out for the esterification of complex mixtures of several fatty acids and water …

This work presents a 3D VOF two-phase model to investigate the hydrodynamics, chemical
reaction heat, and multicomponent mass transfer of 1, 1 diethoxy butane (DEB) production in …

Abstract Acetals, as 1, 1-diethoxyethane (DEE) and 1, 1-dibutoxyethane (DBE), can be used
as green oxygenates for diesel blending due to their capacity to reduce particulate matter …

Abstract The synthesis of 1, 1‐diethoxybutane (DEB) through the acetalization reaction
between ethanol and butyraldehyde was studied in a fixed‐bed adsorptive reactor packed …

BACKGROUND: Acetals can be considered important bio‐based diesel additives. The
production of most of these compounds, from an alcohol and an aldehyde, suffers from low …

Simulated moving bed technology is applied in the field of pharmaceutical, petrochemical
and fine chemistry. It shows capability in separating multicomponent mixtures up to high …
