Multi-objective optimization of vapor recompressed distillation column in batch processing: Improving energy and cost savings

Reducing CO2 emissions and process cost in vinyl acetate/acetic acid/acetic anhydride ternary mixture via heat pumps with heat exchange network

“…Separation of ternary system is a common and typical process in chemical separation process. Recently, there are many researches [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] relating to the separation of ternary mixture. Aurangzeb et al 8 developed a new type of extractive dividing wall column (E-DWC) using hot ethylene glycol as solvent to separate ethanol/water/glycol ternary system, and introduced heat pump distillation technology into E-DWC, which is called heat-integrated E-DWC (E-HiDWC).…”

Multi-objective Optimization and Control of Self-Heat Recuperative Azeoropic Distillation for Separating an Ethanol/Water Mixture

“…The genetic algorithm is a stochastic search method based on the evolutionary law of the genetic mechanism of survival of the fittest in biology. The multi-objective genetic algorithm has been widely used in the optimization process of distillation systems. , The optimization of the SHRAD process is a mathematical problem of multi-objective optimization with complex calculation and high non-linearity. Alcántara-Avila et al used the multi-objective optimization technology to optimize the compressor-aided distillation sequences with heat integration, which provided a new idea for the optimization of the SHRAD process.…”

Reclamation of Halon 1301 using industrial-scale heat-pump-assisted batch distillation: Design, simulation, and experiment

“…This is favorable when the temperature difference between the column's top and bottom is small and the condenser duty is large [8]. Most research in this field has focused on heat-pump-assisted continuous columns [9], and few studies on heat-pump-assisted batch distillation have been reported [10]. Using vapor compression (VC), heat pumps provide an advantage in operating pressure [11].…”
