This contribution explores the influence of curved unstable distillation boundaries on the performance of batch distillations in ternary mixtures and its incorporation into a conceptual modeling framework under the assumption ...

Due to its outstanding flexibility, batch distillation is still widely used in many separation processes. In the present work, a comparison between constant and variable reflux operations is studied. Firstly, a mathematical ...

A novel simulation strategy for dynamic distillation of complex mixtures, such as wine, is proposed and evaluated in terms of computing efficiency and accuracy. The model developed describes wine distillation as a ...

A model for batch stripping distillation is presented, equivalent to the Fenske - Underwood - Gillilang model for continuous distillation. Given a separation task, we propose to compute the minimun number of trays and ...

This paper proposes the combined use of a conceptual modeling method and a referential control strategy to operate batch distillation columns. Using the pinch theory, the modeling method, which is valid for multicomponent ...

During the past decade, several authors worked in the development of methods to cope with different steps of the design and synthesis of batch distillation systems. Among these methods, the conceptual design is based both ...
