Conceptual Process Design and Techno-Economical Assessment of H2/CO2 Separation Using FricDiff Technology

The technology of FricDiff, an abbreviation of Frictional Diffusion, can be used to separate gases by adding a third gas, a so-called sweep gas, to the system. It is based on the diffusion difference of the feed molecules in the sweep gas. FricDiff is a proven principle and works at lab scale. The aim of the research is to study the technical and economical feasibility of separating H2 and CO2 with a FricDiff separation process at large scale. It includes the design of H2/CO2 separation unit for a medium size power plant using IGCC technology and a feasibility study. The results are compared with other separation methods that are used to capture and separation CO2 from H2IRSProcess and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

Process for the production of furfural from pentoses and/or water soluble pentosans

The invention is directed to a process for the production of furfural from pentoses and/or water soluble pentosans, said process comprising converting the said pentoses and/or water soluble pentosans in aqueous solution in a first step to furfural and in a second step feeding the aqueous solution containing furfural obtained in the first step to the top of a distillation column to produce an aqueous, liquid downflow, which column is heated at the bottom part thereof, using at least one reboiler to produce an upflow steam flow, recovering a water and furfural containing vapour product stream from the top of the said column, compressing the said vapour flow and condensing it on the hot side of the reboiler at the bottom of the said column to produce sufficient steam in the said bottom part of the column to produce the said upflow steam flow, and to recover an aqueous furfural containing solution as the condensate in the reboiler.Process and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

Method and apparatus for furfural production

The invention concerns a process for the production of furfural from pentoses and/or water soluble pentosans, comprising the steps of feeding an aqueous pentose solution containing one or more pentoses or soluble pentosans to the bottom of a reaction column to produce an aqueous liquid upflow; heating the bottom part of the column using a heat exchanger to produce a steam upflow in the column; recovering a vapour product stream containing water and furfural from the top of the column; and condensing the vapour product stream, thereby obtaining an aqueous furfural containing product solution as the condensate.Process and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
