The presence of the azeotropes in the binary mixture has resulted in the individual
components cannot be effectively separated using the conventional distillation technique …

Increasing energy demand, consequently high crude oil prices and growing concern for
pollution motivated the researchers to explore more energy-efficient and environment …

Special Distillation Processes, Second Edition focuses on the latest developments in the
field, such as separation methods that may prove useful for solving problems encountered …

In this paper, the energy-saving potential of an extractive dividing-wall column (EDWC) is
investigated. One potential drawback on the EDWC design is that two reboilers in the …

Distillation, the most common separation process in chemical process industries, requires
significant energy inputs. Dividing-Wall Column (DWC), which works on the basis of Fully …

Process intensification (PI) is an emerging concept in chemical engineering that describes
the design innovations that lead to significant shrinkage in size and boost in efficiency of a …

The thermally coupled, dividing wall column, and side-stream configurations are some of the
energy-intensified techniques widely applied to the extractive distillation for improving the …

Levulinic acid is considered among the top twelve chemicals from biomass in terms of
market potential, due to its considerable number of applications. Levulinic acid is obtained …

The divided wall column system is a promising energy-saving alternative for separating multi-
component mixtures. However, high energy efficiency and stable operations can only be …

In this paper, the energy-saving potential of a heterogeneous azeotropic dividing-wall
