CFD methods and Flory-Huggins theory utilization in mathematical modeling of water-ethanol pervaporation process

Rozdział mieszaniny woda-etanol ma duże znaczenie dla wielu gałęzi przemysłu. Powszechnie stosowane techniki rozdziału tego układu posiadają szereg wad. Jedną z alternatyw jest proces perwaporacji. W celu upowszechnienia stosowalności perwaporacji podjęto próbę modelowania wspomnianego układu. W tym celu wykorzystano model Flory-Hugginsa, I prawo Ficka oraz metody CFD. Otrzymane wyniki pozwoliły ocenić wpływ polaryzacji na transport masy w perwaporacji.Separation of water-ethanol mixture is of great significance for many branches of industry. Separation techniques commonly used to separate above-mentioned mixture have many drawbacks. Pervaporation is one of alternatives. To make this process more applicable a mathematical model was created. The Flory-Huggins theory, first Fick's law and CFD methods were used in this model. Modeling results enable one to asses the influence of concentration polarization on mass transfer in pervaporation

Kinetic modelling of the solid-liquid extraction process of polyphenolic compounds from apple pomace: influence of solvent composition and temperature

This study aims to assess kinetic modelling of the solid-liquid extraction process of total polyphenolic compounds (TPC) from apple pomace (AP). In this regard, we investigated the effects of temperature and solvent (i.e. water, ethanol, and acetone) on TPC extraction over various periods. The highest TPC yield of 11.1 +/- 0.49 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g db (dry basis) was achieved with a mixture of 65% acetone-35% water (v/v) at 60 degrees C. The kinetics of the solvent-based TPC extraction processes were assessed via first-order and second-order kinetic models, with an associated investigation of the kinetic parameters and rate constants, saturation concentrations, and activation energies. The second-order kinetic model was sufficient to describe the extraction mechanism of TPC from AP. This study provides an understanding of the mass transfer mechanism involved in the polyphenolic compound extraction process, thus facilitating future large-scale design, optimization, and process control to valorize pomace waste

Kinetic modelling of the solid-liquid extraction process of polyphenolic compounds from apple pomace: influence of solvent composition and temperature

Abstract This study aims to assess kinetic modelling of the solid–liquid extraction process of total polyphenolic compounds (TPC) from apple pomace (AP). In this regard, we investigated the effects of temperature and solvent (i.e. water, ethanol, and acetone) on TPC extraction over various periods. The highest TPC yield of 11.1 ± 0.49 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g db (dry basis) was achieved with a mixture of 65% acetone–35% water (v/v) at 60 °C. The kinetics of the solvent-based TPC extraction processes were assessed via first-order and second-order kinetic models, with an associated investigation of the kinetic parameters and rate constants, saturation concentrations, and activation energies. The second-order kinetic model was sufficient to describe the extraction mechanism of TPC from AP. This study provides an understanding of the mass transfer mechanism involved in the polyphenolic compound extraction process, thus facilitating future large-scale design, optimization, and process control to valorize pomace waste.
