- Separations of chemicals from mixtures of products are vital for the chemical industry, e.g., n-butyl acetate production. The paper develops a novel hybrid process, combining thermally coupled distillation and pervaporation to achieve process intensification. This work shows a remarkable reduction in energy requirement (63%) and annual cost (43%) by the hybrid process in comparison to existing industrial reactive distillation process. The ideas proposed in the publication have been further explored by C Wang et al., 2019 (10.1016/j.seppur.2019.03.074). One of the co-authors further contributed in the field by modifying the hybrid process (Novita et al, 2018, 10.1016/j.ces.2018.06.024).
