Distillation is by far the most important and most widely-used method of separation and
purification in the petroleum, chemicals and related industries, and it also consumes by far …

Cyclic distillation is an emerging process intensification technology, which can improve
separation efficiency compared to conventional distillation. As most current models only …

In this study, the performance of reactive cyclic distillation processes is analysed and
quantified with respect to changes in the reflux, boilup and cycle time. To evaluate the …

Modelling of cyclic separations is extended to account for a non-instantaneous liquid
feeding period succeeding the liquid flow period in established models. The inclusion of …

Simple models are developed for realistic operation modes of periodic separation. The
models comprise instantaneous, simultaneous, and sequential draining. Using our models …

Simulations and designs are presented of conventional and periodic SO2 absorption from
exhaust gases using salt water as absorption solvent. Operating conditions resemble those …

Distillation is considered one of the most fundamental separation processes in the chemical
industry. Over the years many empirical and semi-empirical models to predict efficiency …
