Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of two optimization approaches: Sequential Iterative Optimization (SIO) and Non‐dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA‐II) applied to the separation of ternary mixtures (1‐butanol, isobutanol, and 2‐butanol) using Dual‐Column Distillation (DCD) and Dividing‐Wall Column (DWC) processes. Through a

Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.

Approximation of Jump Diffusions in Finance and Economics [PDF]
In finance and economics the key dynamics are often specified via stochastic differential equations (SDEs) of jump-diffusion type. The class of jump-diffusion SDEs that admits explicit solutions is rather limited.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐harvest agricultural residues in Latin America are commonly underutilized, leading to greenhouse gas emissions and lost opportunities for bio‐based value creation. This study tests the hypothesis that decentralized, farmer‐scale pyrolysis technologies can deliver comparable agronomic benefits while exhibiting distinct techno‐economic and ...
