The influence of gas and liquid physical properties on entrainment inside a sieve tray column
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Distillation column design and operation require understanding of both the hydrodynamic
and thermodynamic behaviour and limitations. One of the hydrodynamic aspects that
negatively influence separation ...
Separation of 1-dodecanol and n-tetradecane through supercritical extraction.
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-12)
Developments in the field of liquid detergents and cosmetics have increased the demand for
surfactants, processing aids and emollients. Alcohols are often used in liquid products where
they serve as solvents for the ...
Establishing a facility to measure packed column hydrodynamics
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Distillation continues to be the most widely used method of separation in the processing
industry, in spite of its inherently low thermodynamic efficiency. Two of the critical
distillation research needs ...
Evaluation of entrainers for the dehydration of C2 and C3 alcohols via azeotropic distillation
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Distillation is the most widely used separation technique in the chemical process industry and typically accounts
for approximately one-third of the total capital cost and more than half of the total ...
Vapour phase mass transfer coefficients in structured packing

Entrainment in an air/water system inside a sieve tray column
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mass transfer efficiency in distillation, absorption and stripping depends on both
thermodynamic efficiency and hydrodynamic behaviour. Thermodynamic efficiency is
dependent on the system kinetics while ...
