Distillation: Fundamentals and Operations, Second Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the scientific and engineering foundations of modern distillation technology. Revised and extended, the volume covers the fundamental principles, practical aspects, and recent developments relevant to the analysis, design, and operation of distillation processes. The chapters trace the history of distillation and examine vapor-liquid equilibria, physical properties, mass transfer, energy use, heat exchange, and column internals. Further sections provide practical guidance on performance testing, troubleshooting, and special distillation operations. The volume also introduces high-gravity distillation as an example of process intensification aimed at improving mass-transfer performance, energy efficiency, and equipment compactness.This updated edition builds on the success of its PROSE award-winning predecessor, integrating new developments and research. It is tailored for chemical engineers, process designers, researchers, and students in chemical engineering and related fields. Whether you are involved in energy efficiency, sustainability, or advanced process design, this book serves as a vital reference, empowering you to enhance your expertise and drive innovation in distillation technology.Fully revised and updated new edition of the 2015 PROSE Award Winner in Chemistry & Physics from the Association of American PublishersAddresses the need for improved energy efficiency and conceptual methods/computational tools applied in the design, optimization, and control of distillation processesProvides practical information written by recognized experts on the newest developmentsComprises the most important and current research on industrial distillation, including all steps in conceptual process design (feasibility study, modelling, and experimental validation), together with operation and control aspectsCovers all distillation processes, from batch to zeotropic and azeotropic distillation, as well as reactive distillation and special distillation processes

Distillation: Design, Optimization, and Control of Distillation Processes, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of modern methods for the systematic development of efficient, intensified, and operable distillation processes, emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency and sustainability. The chapters address the modeling and optimization of individual columns and separation sequences, as well as the conceptual design of batch, zeotropic, azeotropic, and extractive distillation processes. Further sections examine dividing wall columns, systematic entrainer selection, hybrid separation processes, and reactive distillation. The volume concludes with practical guidance on the control and operation of conventional and intensified distillation systems. Throughout, particular emphasis is placed on technical feasibility, energy efficiency and economically viability.This updated edition builds on the success of its PROSE award-winning predecessor, integrating new developments and research.

Process intensifi cation aims for increasing effi ciency and sustainability of (bio-)chemical production processes. This book presents strategies for the intensifi cation of fluid separation processes such as reactive distillation, reactive absorption and membrane assisted separations. The authors discuss theoretical fundamentals, model development, methods for synthesis and the design as well as scale-up and industrial process applications.

Process intensification aims for increasing efficiency and sustainability of (bio-)chemical production processes. The second book of our two-book series focusses entirely on process intensifi cation by centrifugally enhanced (reactive) separations. The book provides an overview of the main applications of rotating packed beds (RPBs) in liquid-liquid, gas-liquid and vapor-liquid contacting, within academic research and industrial applications. The book addresses current design rules and modeling frameworks, including the tailored design of functional packings by means of additive manufacturing. Rotating packed beds are widely applicable and fl exible mass transfer machines for process intensifi cation. Applications, design rules and advanced modeling for rotating packed beds are presented in an interconnected way.
