Terpenes are important varietal compounds responsible for the characteristic aromas of alcoholic beverages. Reliable vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data this class aroma in hydroalcoholic media is essential to understand their behavior during distillation and thus achieve a desired quality distilled products. In work, experimental measurements VLE ?-terpineol highly diluted ethanol–water mixtur...

Extractive distillation is an alternative for ethanol dehydration processes that has been shown to be more effective than azeotropic distillation and, in close proximity, to be very competitive against the process that uses adsorption with molecular sieves. Glycols have been shown to be the most effective solvents in extractive distillation, mainly ethylene glycol and glycerol. In this work, an...

Mutual diffusion coefficients of all 20 binary liquid mixtures that can be formed out of methanol, ethanol, acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, toluene, and carbon tetrachloride without a miscibility gap are studied at ambient conditions of temperature and pressure in the entire composition range. The considered mixtures show a varying mixing behavior from almost ideal to strongly non-ideal. Predict...

A novel approach for enclosing all homogeneous azeotropes in multicomponent mixtures is presented. The thermodynamic criteria for azeotropy are outlined, and mathematical equations for each criterion are developed. The global optimization approach is based on developing convex underestimators which are coupled with a branch and bound framework in which upper and lower bounds on the solution are...

The current challenges of the pharmaceutical industry regarding environmental impact caused by its waste have led to design and development more efficient industrial processes. In this context, solubility studies are at core different processes, such as formulation, preformulation, synthesis, purification, recrystallization, quantification, quality control. This research evaluates sulfamerazine...
