Distillation has a thermodynamic efficiency of only 10-12%, due to the degradation of energy associated to the temperature difference between the reboiler and condenser, and the mixing of liquid streams of ...

Reactive distillation (RD) reduces capital investment and saves energy because it can get passed equilibrium limitations, simplify complex processes, increase product selectivity and improve separation efficiency. This article gives a brief overview into novel integrated technologies that combine RD principles with new intensified distillation, which leads to new processes and applications.

Procesindustrieën genereren significante hoeveelheden waterige afvalstromen met hoge zoutconcentraties. Vele bevatten ook organische componenten. Verdunnen om vervolgens te lozen mag meestal niet. De transport- en verwerkingskosten nemen echter toe. De afvalstromen opconcentreren voor transport helpt echter kosten beperken. Bovendien wordt recycleren van water en zouten een prioriteit.
