周期操作全回流间歇精馏的动态模型(英文)

Cyclic total reflux (CTR) batch distillation is a promising mode of the process but lacking of appropriate modeling for the period of filling the reflux drum. A new dynamic modeling method for the simulation of CTR batch distillation is proposed in this work, in which the changes in column holdup and liquid flow rate during the filling of the drum, and the consequent change in valid number of theoretical plates are considered. The effect of drum holdup on operation time is investigated and the optimal drum holdup is obtained from the simulation. The dynamic modeling is compared to the conventional modeling without consideration of change in liquid flow rate. The experimental result shows that the present modeling is more reliable and more accurate, especially for the col-umn with large liquid holdup.     

浓度极稀物中回收微量重组分的精馏操作策略—准间歇精馏

A new operation policy--quasi-batch distillation for recovering infinitesimal amounts species existing in a mixture is presented. In quasi-batch distillation operation, feed is introduced with a constant flow rate onto the feed stage of the column, and the flow rate of the distillate is the same as that of the feed, whereas the bottom product is withdrawn periodically. The behavior of quasi-batch distillation is simulated and analyzed through an example on heavy water separation. Comparing with continuous or batch distillation, the new operation policy is more reliable and efficient to achieve higher recovery of dilute component. This is especially suitable for separating small amount of precious species from large amount of raw material.     

用离子液体作催化剂和夹带剂时在反应萃取精馏塔中乙酸甲酯和正丁醇酯交换反应的模拟

A new reactive and extractive distillation process with ionic liquids as entrainer and catalyst (RED-IL) was proposed to produce methanol and n-butyl acetate by transesterification reaction of methyl acetate with n-butanol. The RED-IL process was simulated via a rigorous model, and high purity products of methanol and n-butyl acetate can be obtained in such a process. The effects of reflux ratio, feed mode, holdup, feed location, entrainer ratio and catalyst concentration on RED-IL process were investigated. The conversion of methyl acetate and purities of products increase with the holdup in column, entrainer ratio and catalyst content. An optimal reflux ratio exists in RED-IL process. Comparing to the mixed-feed mode, the segregated-feed mode is more effective, in which the optimal feed locations of reactants exist.     

OPTIMAL OPERATION OF BATCH DISTILLATION

The maximum-profit problem in the operation of a batch distillation column separating a binary mixture is studied. From the objective function made in this paper, such problem can be transformed under special condition, into either maximum-distillate or minimum-time problem. Reflux ratio is chosen as control variable. Digital method is worked out by using optimal control theory to find the condition of optimal operation. In deriving present mathematic model, the liquid hold-up in plates and in condenser as well as the plate efficiency are taken into account. The proposed optimal operation is compared theoretically with the conventional constant reflux ratio and constant overhead composition policies and the results show that the proposed optimal operation can lead to/nuch higher profits. To demonstrate the practical usefulness of the proposed optimal policy, experimental work is carried out in a 4 sieve trays 0.17M diameter batch distillation column with ethanolwater system. Agreement is found between the experimental data and the computed results from present model.     

Total Reflux Operation of Multivessel Batch Distillation for Separation of Binary Mixtures

Multivessel batch distillation （MVBD） is mainly used to separate mixtures with more than two compo-nents. In this article, a new operation mode with MVBD is proposed for separation of binary mixtures under total reflux. A mathematic model is setup for the simulation. The proposed operation policy and the regular operation with constant reflux are compared theoretically and experimentally. The results show that the new operation mode has great advantages in time saving and operation flexibility. MVBD presents great potential for separation with high efficiency.     

催化精馏塔中乙酸甲酯水解的研究

A nonequilibrium stage model was used to simulate countercurrent multicomponent catalytic distillation processes for methyl acetate hydrolysis. Computations of stage eiliciencies or height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) were entirely avoided by this model. The consistency of simulated results and experimental data in conversions and concentration of each component along a column indicates that the model predicts the actual process well. The influences of operating parameters on hydrolytic conversions, such as feed molar ratios, feed locations, feed and reflux rates, heights of reactive and stripping sections, were analyzed adequately by simulating calcuiations. A good operating mode was then obtained, which is helpful to the development of a new process.

考虑颗粒凝并情况下充分发展圆管湍流场中的纳米颗粒的迁移(英文)

Numerical simulations of nanoparticle migration in a fully developed turbulent pipe flow are performed.The evolution of particle number concentration,total particle mass,polydispersity,particle diameter and geometric standard deviation is obtained by using a moment method to approximate the particle general dynamic equation.The effects of Schmidt number and Damkhler number on the evolution of the particle parameters are analyzed.The results show that nanoparticles move to the pipe center.The particle number concentration and total particle mass are distributed non-uniformly along the radial direction.In an initially monodisperse particle field,the particle clusters with various sizes will be produced because of coagulation.As time progresses,the particle cluster diameter grows from an initial value at different rates depending on the radial position.The largest particle clusters are found in the pipe center.The particle cluster number concentration and total particle mass decrease with the increase of Schmidt number in the region near the pipe center,and the particles with lower Schmidt number are of many dif-ferent sizes,i.e.more polydispersity.The particle cluster diameter and geometric standard deviation increase with the increase of Damkhler number at the same radial position.The migration properties for nano-sized particles are different from that for micro-sized particles.     

Production of glycerol carbonate via reactive distillation and extractive distillation:An experimental study☆

A process for the production of glycerol carbonate (GC) is proposed with the transesterification of glycerol (GL) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with CaO as catalyst by reactive distil ation and extractive distil ation. The perfor-mance of solvents in separating DMC-methanol azeotrope and the effects of operation parameters on the reactive distillation process are investigated experimental y. The results indicate that both the GL conversion and GC yield increase with the DMC/GL molar ratio, reflux ratio, final temperature of tower bottom, and CaO/GL molar ratio and decrease as the recycle number of CaO increases. The calcium concentration in the residual reaction mixture also decreases remarkably as the DMC/GL molar ratio increases. At DMC/GL molar ratio 4.0, reflux ratio 1.0, final temperature of tower bottom 358 K, and CaO/GL molar ratio 0.05, both the GL conversion and GC yield can reach above 99.0%, and the mass concentration of calcium in the product is less than 0.08%.

In this paper, the optimal assessment on the energy saving and the operating cost for ITCDIC of nonideal mixture is explored.

It is revealed that ITCDIC process possesses high energy saving potential and promising economical prospect.

Concentration Maxima in Ternary Distillation at Total Reflux

Abstract

For a ternary fractionation system at total reflux, a procedure has been developed which predicts whether or not the component of intermediate volatility will achieve a concentration maximum at an intermediate location in the column rather than in the top or bottom product stream. Further, the value and location of any such maxima are analytically defined for a fixed feed and separation. Finally, the maximum value of the concentration maximum and its location are given for a fixed feed and column.
