Design of Distillation Column
Azeotropic distillation of ethanol-water mixture is accomplished by adding a volatile third component to the liquid which changes the volatility of one of the two components more than the other so the components are separated by distillation. The two components to be separated often have similar boiling point components which do or do not azeotrope in the binary mixture, but sometimes there are components which do azeotrope despite having vastly different boiling points. It is likely that in ...
VAPOR–LIQUID EQUILIBRIA OF MIXTURES CONTAINING n-DECANE, CARBON DIOXIDE AND ARGON USING MOLECULAR SIMULATION TECHNIQUES (GIBBS ENSEMBLE MONTE CARLO SIMULATION)
Abstract The CO2–hydrocarbons systems is common in oil and gas industry as a geological fluid. CO2 plays a vital role in biological processes namely photosynthesis, respiration, and actively participates in the carbon cycle. However, the time gradient of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has become a major global concern. The environmental challenges associated with the control and management of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases have been the focal point of soci...
