Fractional Distillation Process Utilized to Produce Light Fractional Fuel from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Waste Plastic

Plastics are not easily biodegradable; and because of these characteristics they can remain under landfill and water for a very long period of time. All over the world only 6% of waste plastics are recycled and the rest of all waste plastics are dumped into landfills. An experiment was conducted in a laboratory scale batch process under Labconco’s fume hood utilizing low density polyethylene (L...

Application of artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms for crude fractional distillation process modeling

companion with genetic algorithms proved that they can accurately predict fractions quality shifts, reproducing the results of the standard laboratory analysis. Simple knowledge extraction method from neural network model built was also performed. Genetic algorithms can be successfully utilized in efficient training of large neural networks and finding their optimal structures.

Natural Borneol Recycling from Cinnamomum camphor chvar. Borneol Oil Residue by Fractional Distillation and Recrystallization

Purpose: To establish an efficient method to recycle natural borneol from Cinnamomum camphor chvar. Borneol oil residue. Methods: The fractions and raffinate of the oil residue of Cinnamomum camphor chvar. Borneol were obtained by fractional distillation, and analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Natural borneol w...

Distillation Startup of Fully Thermally Coupled Distillation Columns: Theoretical Examinations

The fully thermally coupled distillation column offers an alternative to conventional distillation towers, with the possibility of savings in both energy and capital costs. This innovative and promising alternative provides the opportunity to separate a multicomponent mixture into fractions with high purities merely in one column. A lack of knowledge still exists when dealing with the startup o...
