Distillation columns are complex processes for modeling and controlling. These columns are significant parts of most chemical industries for separation of components. Control of this process is essential for achieving certain purity for products with a minimum cost. However, nonlinearities, multivariable interaction, non-stationary behavior and severity of disturbances inside the column made th...

production ofdimethyl amino ethanol (dmae) and effective parameters on efficiency and purity of the chemical were studied in this article. dimethylation of ethanol amine using aqueous formaldehyde in the presence of formic acid was applied for production of dmae. results showed that four parameters such as outlet temperature of co2 gas, reflux temperature, reflux time and extraction solvent wer...

a shortcut procedure as quick, easy-to use method for design and simulation of multicomponent batch distillation is used to predict the operating condition of recovering xylene from solvent in an existing batch distillation column in benzol refinery. the procedure can be used to investigate the effect of the operating parameters on the operation of column for three possible modes of batch disti...

Gentisides are a class of chemical compounds which is considered as potential therapeutic substance for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. The heat reflux extraction conditions were optimized for seven kinds of gentisides from the root and rhizome of Gentiana rigescens Franch. ex Hemsl. by employing response surface method. Based on univariate test, a Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied...

A simple and rapid microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure has been developed and optimized for extracting triterpenoids (TTP) from the Actinidia deliciosa root. Several variables that could potentially affect the extraction efficiency, namely extraction time (min), ethanol fraction (%), liquid:solid ratio (volume per mass) and microwave power (W) have been optimized by means of response ...

In the present article we show that, although reflux method is not common for synthesis of multicomponent MoVTeNbO catalysts, an optimized metallic precursors leads to...
