Energy Efficient Hybrid Processes for Ethanol Dehydration: a Comparison of Benchmark and Membrane Assisted Configurations
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most promising processes for ethanol dewatering are hybrid separations consisting from different combinations of distillation with adsorption and/or vapour permeation. This paper presents a detailed process analysis showing the influence of decisive parameters on important target variables. The advanced mathematical models have been used for determination of optimal process configuration while using evolutionary algorithms.

Synthesis and characterization of novel nanocomposite Chitosan membranes for Ethanol dehydration
Polyacrylonitril (PAN)-supported chitosan (CS) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the CS with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) via sol-gel method. Pervaporative performances of the CS-SiO2/PAN membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. From SEM cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores we...
