“…Emulsification using the Sulzer SMX mixer has been studied not only in laminar flow (Legrand et al, 2001;Das et al, 2005;Liu et al, 2005;Rama Rao et al, 2007;Fradette et al, 2007;Gingras et al, 2007) but also in turbulent regime (Streiff et al, 1997). Results about liquid-liquid dispersion are also reported in the literature using the SMV mixer (Streiff, 1977;Streiff et al, 1997), the Lightnin Series 50 (Al Taweel and Walker, 1983;El Hamouz et al, 1994) and the High Efficiency Vortex mixer (Lemenand et al, 2001(Lemenand et al, , 2003(Lemenand et al, , 2005.…”

“…Fasano [52] reported that an HEV static mixer required only one twelfth to one third of the pressure drop of other conventional mixers to achieve the equivalent blending performance and thermal mixing efficiency. In some emulsification processes, an HEV static mixer was 1000 times more energy efficient than other mixers [45,53]. It was also energetically efficient in enhancing heat transfer between two immiscible liquid phases in turbulent flow [54].…”

A novel high-efficiency vortex (HEV) static mixer was used to locally enhance the heat transfer coefficient of a drag-reducing fluid, Ethoquad O/12 (EO12) (3 mM) with sodium salicylate (NaSal) (5 mM). Significant enhancement of heat transfer coefficients was observed. The Nusselt numbers were three to five times those of normal drag-reducing flow without mixer and were close to those of water at high Reynolds number with only modest energy penalty. In contrast, a Helix static mixer increased Nusselt number slightly with very high pressure loss. A performance number was used for comparisons among the HEV static mixer, the Helix static mixer, and water without mixer. The HEV static mixer had a performance number comparable to that of water. The enhanced heat transfer by the HEV static mixer resulted from streamwise vortices generated by the inclined tabs, which increased the convective heat transfer in the radial direction.

“…The mixing times data estimated according to an incorporation model substantially decreased with an increase in the Reynolds number. It ultimately reached a very low level of 10 23 s in the turbulent flow regime [41].…”

The introduction of ionic liquids to alkylation process gives a choice for ''green production'' in the petrochemical and detergent industry. A lot of papers and patents have been published using chloroaluminate ionic liquid as a novel catalyst for alkylation with high reactivity and easy separation from reactants. These included the acidity, characterization, determination and catalysis technologies in batch and continuous operation mode for different scales. According to published data and several results of pilot alkylation,including the authors' experience,the prospect of chloroaluminate ionic liquids for commercials was also discussed. It has been pointed out that there still are many difficulties and challenges to be overcome for commercial application of the ionic liquid catalyst.
