Process intensification offers the potential to drastically reduce the energy consumption and
cost of producing chemicals from both bulk and distributed feedstocks. This review article …

During the last decades, process intensification led to major developments also in
separation technology. Particularly in distillation, dividing-wall column (DWC) is the next …

Dividing-wall column (DWC) is considered nowadays the new champion in distillation, as it
can bring substantial reduction in the capital invested as well as savings in the operating …

Dividing-wall column (DWC) is one of the best examples of process intensification, as it can
bring significant reduction in the capital invested as well as savings in the operating costs …

The now industrially established concept of a dividing wall column can be evolved into that
of a multiple dividing wall column, and thus theoretically achieve any number of pure …

In the present work, the optimization of different structural and process parameters of a
divided wall column (DWC) for the energy efficiency has been presented. The optimal …

The divided-wall column is an energy-saving promising technology for the separation of
ternary mixtures, but control is difficult because of its complexity structure and interactions of …

Since the optimal design of dividing wall columns (DWC) is a highly nonlinear and
multivariable problem, an appropriate solving tool is required. In this paper a multi‐objective …

In this paper, dividing wall column (DWC) has been chosen for a BTX (Benzene–Toluene–o-
Xylene) system. A MATLAB® program has been written for nonlinear unsteady-state DWC …

Since the middle of the last century, discussion about the operation of discontinuous
fractionation to meet multifarious goals, such as product purity and recovery rate, by …
