Currently furfural production has been the subject of increased interest because it is a biobased chemical able to compete with fossil-based chemicals. Furfural characterized by flammability, explosion, and toxicity properties. Improper handling process design can lead catastrophic accidents. Hence most importance use inherent safety concepts during stage. This work first present several new downstream separation processes for purification, which are designed using an optimization approach...
This perspective article highlights our opinions on the imperative of incorporating Process Intensification (PI) into undergraduate chemical engineering education, recognizing its pivotal role in preparing future engineers for contemporary industrial challenges. The trajectory PI, from historical milestones to significance advancing United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reflects intrinsic alignment with sustainability, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship....
Biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass residues provide a sustainable alternative, allowing second use for waste and replacing fossil fuels. However, the direct profitability of biofuel production is limited, which has led to approach simultaneous other bioproducts through biorefinery schemes. Among biofuels, bioethanol stands out its capacity substitute gasoline in certain percentages. In case high value-added bioproducts, furfural lactic acid can be mentioned. Notwithstanding these...
Abstract The chemical industry is at a critical juncture, where traditional mass production increasingly being challenged by the need for more flexible, efficient and sustainable approaches. This perspective article explores viability of tailored as future model industry, focusing on opportunities challenges inherent in moving towards personalized, customer‐driven paradigm. Tailored processes have potential to revolutionize how we meet rapidly evolving societal demands, adapt shifting...
Optimization has become an indispensable tool in the food industry, addressing critical challenges related to efficiency, sustainability, and product quality. Traditional approaches, such as one-factor-at-a-time analysis, have been supplanted by more advanced methodologies like response surface methodology (RSM), which models interactions between variables, identifies optimal operating conditions, significantly reduces experimental requirements. However, increasing complexity of modern...
This paper presents a multiobjective optimization to obtain the optimal planning of butanol production, considering selection feedstock and correct ratio fermentable sugars. methodology was applied during both fermentation purification process butanol. The problem considers minimizing total annual cost environmental impact as objective function. economic function takes into account availability bioresources, feedstocks, conditions, separation units. On other hand, assessment includes overall...
Biobutanol is receiving great interest from both the academia and industry sectors, some companies are already focusing on revamping bioethanol plants to produce biobutanol. The recovery of fuel grade butanol by distillation was proven not be economically sustainable. On other side, hybrid flowsheets, obtained with combination liquid–liquid extraction distillation, were proposed as a more convenient alternative. Divided wall columns (DWCs), one most promising intensified alternatives, here...
Abstract In recent years, the production and consumption of fossil jet fuel have increased as a consequence rise in number passengers goods transported by air. Despite low demand caused coronavirus 2019 pandemic, an increase services offered sector is expected again. economic context still dependent on scarce oil, this represents problem. There also problem arising from fuel's environmental impact throughout its life cycle. Given this, promising solution use biojet renewable aviation fuel....
