Published studies have been focused mainly on the energy integration of continuous distillation columns. In this contribution, a novel heat integrated batch distillation column (HIBDC) is proposed. Aiming to improve the thermodynamic efficiency and reduce the total annual cost (TAC), a thermally...

Batch distillation is an irreversible process and consumes many times the theoretical minimum energy requirement. The present work focuses on the development of an internally heat integrated batch distillation with a jacketed still (IHIBDJS) aiming to reduce the degree of irreversibility towards...
