Singular points of reactive distillation systems [PDF]
AIChE Journal, 2004 AbstractFor the conceptual design of countercurrently operated reactive distillation columns, fast methods are needed to estimate potential top and bottom products. The possible column bottom product composition can be determined from the stable singular points of a batch reactive reboiler.

Taking Reactive Distillation to the Next Level of Process Intensification
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018 Reactive distillation (RD) is an efficient process intensification technique that integrates catalytic chemical reaction and distillation in a single apparatus. The process is also known as catalytic distillation when a solid catalyst is used.

Rigorous Multicomponent Reactive Separations Modelling : Complete Consideration of Reaction-Diffusion Phenomena [PDF]
, 2010 This paper gives the first step of the development of a rigorous multicomponent reactive separation model. Such a model is highly essential to further the optimization of acid gases removal plants (CO2 capture, gas treating, etc.) in terms of size and ...

Hydrodynamic and mass transfer efficiency of ceramic foam packing applied to distillation. [PDF]
, 2009 In addition to a high void volume and specific area, solid foams possess other properties (low density, good thermal, mechanical, electrical, and acoustical behaviour) that make them attractive for applications such as heat exchangers and reformers ...

Generalised model for heteroazeotropic batch distillation with variable decanter hold-up [PDF]
, 2013 A general model of batch heteroazeotropic distillation is proposed. Both liquid phases present in the decanter can be refluxed or withdrawn as distillate, their hold-up can be increased, decreased or kept constant, as well. By assuming maximal separation,

Reactive Distillation - a Viable Solution for Etherification of Glycerol with tert-Butyl Alcohol
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2012 Two different alternatives for etherification of glycerol (G) with tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) are developed and analyzed. The conventional reaction-separation- recycle system uses a plug-flow reactor to perform the reaction in liquid phase, in the presence
