Abstract The optimal design of dividing wall columns is a non‐linear and multivariable problem, the objective function used as optimization criterion generally non‐convex with several local optimums. Considering this fact, in paper, we studied using tool, multi‐objective genetic algorithm restrictions, written Matlab TM process simulator Aspen Plus for evaluation function. Numerical performance method has been tested one or two walls mixtures to test effect relative volatilities feed on...
Bioethanol is among the most promising of biofuels because it has an energy content similar to gasoline while generating lower pollutant emissions than gasoline. But, in order be used as automotive fuel mixed with gasoline, ethanol must have less 0.5 wt % water. To achieve required purity, light fact that ethanol–water mixture forms azeotrope, unconventional separation techniques such extractive distillation or azeotropic are necessary. However, purification using conventional followed by...
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...
In the last years, organic acids have taken importance on diverse industrial applications. Various studies place, where use of such substances is proposed as replace inorganic acids, sulfuric acid, among others. Inorganic are generally aggressive compounds, whose production represents a high environmental impact. On other hand, less substances, which can be obtained from biomass. Thus, its associated to lower impact, with potential contribute implementation circular economy schemes....
The aim of this paper was to propose and test a continuous cobalt recovery process from waste mobile phone batteries. procedure started with dismantling, crushing, classifying the materials. A study on leaching sulfuric acid hydrogen peroxide carried out subsequent selective separation by means liquid–liquid extraction. best extraction conditions were determined based sequence experiments that consisted selecting extractant for cobalt, then assessing impact concentration, pH, contact time...
Abstract Since the optimal design of dividing wall columns (DWC) is a highly nonlinear and multivariable problem, an appropriate solving tool required. In this paper multi‐objective genetic algorithm with restrictions considered to walls. Also, methodology proposed for sizing DWC. The allows achieving designs two As expected, physical structures that allow use one or walls are not so different from each other and, as consequence, difference in total annual costs both systems depends mainly...
Biojet fuel has been identified as the most promising alternative for sustainable development of aviation sector. There are several processes biojet production, being hydrotreating vegetable oils attractive. Considering that one reactions in process is exothermic, it possible to use this energy reduce heating requirements and environmental impact process. Therefore, work we propose integration produce fuel, considering Jatropha curcas renewable raw material. Results show a decreasing...
