Analysis and Optimization of p-Xylene Production Process
Ashraf, Muhammad Tahir (2013-06)In this study a process is developed for selective production of p-xylene from toluene methylation using reactive distillation for p-xylene separation. Complete process is simulated in Aspen Plus® and reaction parameters ... -
Effects of Operating Conditions on Water Absorption Capacity of Superabsorbent Hydrogels
Abdelwahab, Noun (2018-04)Superabsorbent hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers that have an extraordinary ability to absorb and retain water. Therefore, they have been utilized in many applications such as disposal diapers, ... -
Effects of Selected Ionic Liquids on the Vapor-Liquid-Equilibria of Water-2-Propanol System
Mohammed, Faisal Waleed (2018-04)Separation processes involving vapor and liquid phases represent a typical unit operation in most chemical industries, including distillation and absorption. A large fraction of the capital and operating costs is usually ... -
Integrated desalination plant expansion and water distribution planning model
Ibnouf, Mahmoud Ahmed (2022-12)Scarcity of freshwater resources, reduced quality, and increasing demand have led to an increased dependency on non-conventional water resources. Due to this shift, water desalination has emerged as an integral part of the ... -
Prediction of Stability Limits for Binary and Ternary Systems Using the NTRL Liquid Phase Model
Al-Sadoon, Fahad M. (2013-01)Stability limits (spinodal loci) were determined for 53 binary systems and 26 ternary systems. Rigorous thermodynamic criteria for spinodal limits and criticality conditions in terms of mixture Gibbs free energy were derived ... -
Produced water treatment using microbial desalination cells
Goel, Apoorva (2018-05)Globally, 250 million barrels of produced water is generated daily for extracting 80 million barrels of oil. Having a highly variable composition and no economic value, produced water presents serious environmental problems. ... -
Statistical Modelling and Correlation of Membrane Distillation Data
Hamdoon, Azza (2014-07)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is a temperature gradient rather than conventional gradients based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, or freezing ... -
Viscosity and Critical Properties of n-Decane, n-Pentadecane and n-Eicosane using Molecular Simulation
Samad, Ibrar Ul (2019-12)Studies involving heavy hydrocarbons have been steadily increasing due to the increase in the extraction of shale or heavy oil of which heavy hydrocarbons are a major constituent. Experimental studies are difficult to ...
