Nowadays, desalination continues to expand globally, which is one of the most effective solutions solve problem global drinking water shortage. However, not a fail-safe process and has many environmental human health consequences. This paper investigated procedure seawater with different technologies, namely, multi-stage flash distillation (MSF), multi-effect (MED), reverse osmosis (RO), various energy sources (fossil energy, solar wind nuclear energy). The aim was examine technologies’...

Nowadays, the drinking water shortage is increasing, mainly due to rapid population growth, climate change, wasteful overuse of water, and pollution. Under current circumstances, a quarter world's will not have access good quality water. Thus, another solution must be adopted in areas with insufficient freshwater. One possible line desalination seawater, one most practical solutions solve problem along oil availability shore continues expand globally. Water produced may also utilized for...

To achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, improving energy efficiency in the chemical industry is crucial. The study focuses on an environmentally friendly hybrid distillation (D)-pervaporation (PV) process to enhance and purity ethanol–water isobutanol-water mixtures, these are typical wastes industry. Three configurations—D + PV, D PV D, with partial Heat Integration (HI)—are evaluated for separation of mixtures employing Life Cycle Assessment Environmental Footprint (EF) V3.1 (adapted)...

This study presents a novel approach to the dehydration of n-propanol using three hybrid methods—D + HPV, D HPV D, and with heat integration—each combining distillation (D) hydrophilic pervaporation (HPV) without use additional solvent agents, as in most common separation method, extractive distillation. The optimization was performed ChemCAD process simulator, targeting 99.9 wt% purity for water. is first research provide comprehensive cost estimation carbon footprint analysis such...

In the COVID-19 pandemic period, role of face masks is critical as a protective physical barrier to prevent droplets and filtrate exhalations coming from infected subjects or against various environmental threats, including SARS-Cov-2 virus. However, plastic microplastic waste used pollute environment, cause negative impact on human health natural ecosystem, well increase landfill medical waste. The presented paper focuses providing an overview application membrane technology in mask...

Recycling and disposing wastewater from the pharmaceutical industry are of utmost importance in mitigating chemical waste generation, where unmanaged hazardous fluxes could cause massive environmental damage. Air stripping, steam distillation, incineration offer significant emission reduction potentials for applications; however, selecting specific process units is a complicated task due to high number influencing screening criteria. The mentioned processes modelled with Aspen Plus program....

It can be stated that in the fine chemical industries, especially pharmaceutical industry, large amounts of liquid waste and industrial solvents are generated during production technology. Addressing these is a key issue because their disposal often accounts for largest proportion cost entire There need to develop regeneration processes financially beneficial plant and, if possible, reuse spirit circular economy, particular technology, or possibly elsewhere. The distillation technique proves...

Nitrogen is one of the most critical nutrients in biosphere, and it an essential nutrient for plant growth. exists atmosphere vastly as a gaseous form, but only reactive nitrogen usable plants. It valuable resource worth recovering wastewater sector. The aim this work was to prepare comprehensive environmental analysis novel membrane contactor-based process, which capable highly efficient removal from wastewater. Life cycle assessment (LCA), PESTLE multi-criteria decision (MCDA) were applied...

Abstract Distillation serves as the foremost method for commercial-scale separation of fluid mixtures. Widely applied in wastewater treatment, it is preferred choice isolating volatile multi-component mixtures into pure substances. technology offers notable economic benefits due to its easy implementation, high efficiency, productivity, and robust safety features. This study examines environmental impacts associated with production usage a distillation, specifically treating pharmaceutical...

Chemical laboratories badly need efficient support for human works when experiments are carried out. Process control and data acquisition at the laboratory scale still practical challenges among others, due to equipment prices relative complexity of different scientific disciplines. There is, however, a large demand recently so-called Internet Things (IoT), intelligent/smart labeled solutions that also include items. Such have enormous potential in making research activity routine work easy...

The hybrid distillation-pervaporation process is an efficient method for the removal or recovery of volatile organic compounds from their aqueous mixtures. has not only shown its excellent performance in purification solvent mixtures but also proven to have a potential saving energy. In this study, optimized treatment low-alcohol waste solvents. Three combinations are examined: distillation with hydrophilic pervaporation, organophilic pervaporation and both methods. systems result better...

Reactive nitrogen (Nr) has become an essential nutrient to reclaim and recycle from wastewater. Nitrogen a valued resource that is beneficial recover in the wastewater sector, as key component many fertilizers. The main subject of this work investigate environmental consequences novel recovery process reject water. In our study, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), PESTLE, Multi-Criteria Decision (MCDA) were used examine combining electroconcentration stripping methods, including Monte Carlo...
