Regimes of extractive distillation in ethanol production
The influence of operating conditions to the effectiveness of extractive distillation process was investigated by using the method of gas chromatography. The experiment took place on an industrial vacuum plant of purification ethanol from impurities formed during fermentation. It is obtained that the concentration of different micro impurities at the selection zones depends on the temperature a...
متن کاملSimulation 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...
متن کاملIonic Liquid Selection and Performance Evaluation for the Separation of Methylcyclohexane/toluene by Extractive Distillation
The effectiveness of an extractive distillation process relies on the choice of the extractive solvent. The conventional methodology to select solvents is based on Group Contribution Methods. Ionic liquids have shown several advantages over conventional solvents used in extractive distillation and liquid-liquid extraction processes. However, there is no existing methodology to select ILs as sol...
متن کاملDehydration of Bioethanol by Hybrid Process Liquid Liquid Extraction/Extractive Distillation
Bioethanol is among the most promising of biofuels because it has an energy content similar to gasoline while generating lower pollutant emissions than gasoline. But, in order to be used as an automotive fuel mixed with gasoline, ethanol must have less than 0.5 wt % of water. To achieve required ethanol purity, in light of the fact that the ethanol water mixture forms an azeotrope, unconvention...
متن کاملBiodiesel production from soybean oil using ionic liquid as a catalyst in a microreactor
In the present study, Choline hydroxide (ChOH) as an ionic liquid catalyst was used for transesterification of soybean oil into biodiesel in a microchannel reactor. The effects of three variables i.e. reaction temperature, catalyst dosage and total flow rate on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content (wt. %) were optimized using Box–Behnken experimental design. In order to predict the FAME conte...
