A novel environmental optimization methodology proposed for propylene/propaneseparation: aiming the cleanest feasible distillation system

This paper environmentally optimizes and compares various conceptual designs of close-boiling distillationprocesses (both conventional and intensified). Utilizing distillation-without-hot-utilities conceptual design, environmentalimpact reductions of ۵۰.۵%, ۱۳.۲% and ۵۴.۱%, were obtained for carbon footprint, acidification, and eutrophicationpotentials, respectively. Further ۱۳.۷% reduction in carbon footprint was obtained through multi-objective optimization
