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 …

Biodiesel is a biodegradable and renewable fuel, emerging as a viable alternative to
petroleum diesel. Conventional biodiesel processes still suffer from problems associated …

The need for greater sustainability for the production of fuels and chemicals has spurred
significant research to rethink energy use in the chemical industry, and eventually substitute …

This is a review and position article discussing the role and prospective for process control
in process intensification. Firstly, the article outlines the classical role of control in process …

Reactive dividing wall columns (RDWCs) are highly integrated systems that can
simultaneously perform chemical reactions and multicomponent separations within the …

Sustainability has been defined as the concept of meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1]. Other definitions …

The number of design and processing requirements in the chemical and biochemical
industries are increasing to adapt to rapidly changing markets and the global competition, as …

We present a detailed dynamic model for a reactive distillation system, based on which we
develop design-dependent explicit optimal control strategies. A mixed-integer dynamic …

This work describes a systematic process design for triethyl citrate production by direct
esterification of citric acid with ethanol via simultaneous reaction-separation technologies …

Heat integration and dynamic characteristics are critical for the triple-column pressure-swing
distillation (TCPSD) processes that are used to separate ternary or multicomponent systems …
