Azeotropic behaviour of (benzene+cyclohexane+chlorobenzene) ternary mixture using chlorobenzene as entrainer at 101.3kPa

A Novel Azeotropic Mixture for Solvent Extraction of

Hexane, the common solvent for extraction of edible oils from seeds is no more considered safe due to the presence of solvent in oil and also solvent vapour, a hazardous air pollutant. We have carried out the experiments with bahera (Terminalia bellerica Roxb) and flax seed (Linum usitatissimum ) oil as these oils are highly used in food for their nutraceutical values. The extraction of edible ...

Investigation of Using the Ternary Mixture as the Alternative for R12

Dye Concentrations Determination in Ternary Mixture Solution by Using Colorimetric Algorithm

This publication uses a colorimetric method based on the absorbance spectra of dye solutions to improve on Beer’s law when calculating the dye concentrations of a three-component mixture. The performance of the new method is compared with that of Beer’s law evaluated at three wavelengths, and Beer’s law evaluated at 16 wavelengths. Colorimetric method gives the best prediction of d...

The Prediction of Surface Tension of Ternary Mixtures at Different Temperatures Using Artificial Neural Networks

In this work, artificial neural network (ANN) has been employed to propose a practical model for predicting the surface tension of multi-component mixtures. In order to develop a reliable model based on the ANN, a comprehensive experimental data set including 15 ternary liquid mixtures at different temperatures was employed. These systems consist of 777 data points generally containing hydrocar...

Entrainer-enhanced Reactive Distillation

The paper presents the use of a Mass Separation Agent (entrainer) in reactive distillation processes. This can help to overcome limitations due to distillation boundaries, and in the same time increase the degrees of freedom in design. The catalytic esterification of fatty acids with light alcohols C2-C4 is studied as application example. Because the alcohol and water distillate in top simultan...
