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...

In this contribution, a novel intensified heat integrated ternary distillation column (int-HITDiC) is introduced. The objective is to show the superiority of the int-HITDiC over its general form, namely the HITDiC and the conventional standalone column on the basis of two criteria: energy...

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...
