Optimization of a reactive distillation process with intermediate condensers for silane production

This work presents a reactive distillation column for the catalytic disproportionation of trichlorosilane to silane which includes three consecutive reversible reactions. This reaction system is however characterized by a large distinction in the boiling points of the components, which make the reactive distillation extremely favored. Nevertheless, the normal reactive distillation column posses...

A Review on Applications of Membrane Distillation (MD) Process for Wastewater Treatment

The growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. Various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (MD) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. The MD process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

Reactive distillation for methyl acetate production

We describe a hierarchy of methods, models, and calculation techniques that support the design of reactive distillation columns. The models require increasingly sophisticated data needs as the hierarchy is implemented. The approach is illustrated for the production of methyl acetate because of its commercial importance, and because of the availability of adequate published data for comparison. ...

Simulation of Anhydrous Bioethanol Production Process Using Efficiency Correlations for Conventional and Extractive Distillation

In this work, simulations of the complete separation process in anhydrous bioethanol production were carried out in Aspen Plus. This process comprises distillation and rectification columns as well as an extractive column. Equilibrium stage model and Barros & Wolf efficiency correlations were used to perform the calculations. Efficiency profiles were obtained for all columns showing that effici...
