Abstract

In order to achieve net-zero emissions until 2050, it is of utmost importance to improve the energy efficiency and thereby reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical industry. As distillation processes are accounting for the majority of all fluid separations, they are an important target for potential improvements. Although other separation technologies might be a favorable alternative, distillation is not generally an energy-intensive technology and advanced distillation process concepts, exploiting heat pumps, thermal coupling, as well as solvent- and membrane-assisted hybrid processes, may enable significant improvements regarding energy efficiency. The current article summarizes recent developments regarding the synthesis and design of energy-efficient distillation processes and points out future needs and directions for developments to foster the systematic evaluation and application of these advanced distillation process concepts.

节能蒸馏工艺的合成与设计方法

为了在2050年之前实现净零排放，提高能源效率从而减少化学工业的温室气体排放是至关重要的。由于蒸馏过程占所有流体分离的大部分，因此它们是潜在改进的重要目标。虽然其他分离技术可能是一个有利的选择，但蒸馏通常不是能源密集型技术，先进的蒸馏过程概念，利用热泵，热耦合，以及溶剂和膜辅助混合过程，可能会显著提高能源效率。本文综述了节能蒸馏工艺的合成和设计的最新进展，指出了未来的需求和发展方向，以促进这些先进蒸馏工艺概念的系统评价和应用。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published. The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are: 1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic. 2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic. The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts. Themed sections: Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering: 1. Nanotechnology 2. Energy and environmental engineering 3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering 4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery) 5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.) 6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials). 7. Process systems engineering 8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
