This study is the first to provide a systematic approach assessing potential of advanced reactive distillation technologies expand applicability distillation. The work presented here focuses on synthesis technologies, proposing conceptually based methodology for early-stage screening. uses basic thermodynamic and kinetic data navigate decision-making flowchart in four steps: compositions splits...

The properties of biodiesel as renewable fuel, as well as the problems associated with its conventional production processes are outlined. A novel sustainable process based on catalytic reactive distillation is proposed as alternative. The pros and cons of manufacturing biodiesel via fatty acid esterification using metal oxides as solid acid catalysts are investigated. The experimental findings...

BACKGROUND This study investigates the generation of HCl and other acid gases from boiling calcium chloride dominated waters at atmospheric pressure, primarily using numerical modeling. The main focus of this investigation relates to the long-term geologic disposal of nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, where pore waters around waste-emplacement tunnels are expected to undergo boiling and ...

In the chemical industry the demands regarding process efficiency are permanently increasing. At the same time methods to design indiviual process stages and interconnect them to higly integrated process are reaching their preformance limit. To overcome these limitations the focus of current research has turned to combined processes, i.e. processes that combine the tasks of different process st...

• Waste cooking oil was considered as feedstock for biodiesel production. Kinetic data were derived from actual WCO samples avoiding model components. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate is a promizing catalyst the esterification step. Reactive distillation with alkali used transesterification. In this work, novel method proposed conversion of waste into biodiesel. A two-step approach based on pretre...
