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 ...

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 ...

We analysed the impact of operation variability on the composition of pear spirits obtained with a Charentais alembic and a packed distillation column. Lack of reproducibility significantly affected the spirits' compositions, ...

In this work, a conceptual model-based optimization is performed for designing two waste solvent treatment technologies: i) hybrid process distillation assisted by pervaporation and ii) distillation/incineration.This task ...

Consumer perceptions of flavors are associated with the chemical composition of foods. However, consumer preferences change; therefore, it is necessary for food manufacturers to be able to adapt their products. Unlike in ...

This study contributes fundamental knowledge that will help to develop a distillate of kiwi wine, made from kiwis of the Hayward variety grown in the southwest of Galicia (Spain). Two yeast strains, L1 (Saccharomyces ...

Ethyl carbamate is an impurity present in distilled beverages. Given the risk of it being a carcinogenic substance, Brazilian legislation has determined that its presence in distilled beverages, such as 'aguardente' and ...
