Cocrystal solubility of the diastereomers is necessary for process design. Here, we extend our cocrystal solubility prediction to diastereomeric cocrystals. In this work, cocrystals of malic acid and tartaric acid were studied in four different solvents. Results showed qualitative agreement with experimental data. Hence, the shortcut method can be applied for preliminary estimation of suitable solvents for resolution. The predicted solubility lines can also serve as a tool to identify the stability between diastereomeric cocrystals.</p>","PeriodicalId":9912,"journal":{"name":"Chemie Ingenieur Technik","volume":"96 12","pages":"1613-1619"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142707620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using statistical regression models, precise control over the pore structure is demonstrated, a challenge in previous studies. Higher gelation temperatures and increased polyethylene oxide (PEO) content enhance the mesopore volume, while higher solvent content and reduced polymer content increase the macropore volume. The ratio of mesopore to macropore volume can be effectively adjusted, facilitating the design of xerogels with tailored properties. These findings optimize silica xerogels with bimodal pore structure for applications in catalysis, thermal insulation, and other advanced technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9912,"journal":{"name":"Chemie Ingenieur Technik","volume":"96 12","pages":"1726-1734"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cite.202400099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142707604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stephan Scholl","doi":"10.1002/cite.202400119","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cite.202400119","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Verfahrenstechnische Apparate realisieren einen Prozess in einer konkreten Anwendungsumgebung. Oft sind dabei problematische Stoffsysteme zu prozessieren oder Betriebsbedingungen zu beherrschen, die besondere Herausforderungen an das verfahrenstechnische Design und den Betrieb der Apparate stellen. Beispiele sind schäumende Systeme in Verdampfungs- oder Desorptionsprozessen, Mulmbildung in Extraktoren, Tropfenmitriss aus Verdampfern, Flashbehältern oder an Kolonnenzuläufen oder Fouling, d. h. die unerwünschte Belagbildung auf wärme- und/oder stoffübertragenden Oberflächen. Für alle diese Phänomene gilt die Strategie <i>Vermeiden – Vermindern – Beherrschen</i>. Um dafür geeignete prozesstechnische, apparative oder betriebliche Maßnahmen zu testen und zu bewerten, sind einheitliche experimentelle Methoden erforderlich, die es erlauben, die Schaumneigung oder die Foulinganfälligkeit eines Stoffsystems, eines Apparates oder einer Betriebsweise unter definierten Bedingungen reproduzierbar zu quantifizieren. Erst dann können potentielle Abhilfemaßnahmen verlässlich bewertet und qualifiziert werden. Das vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz über den Projektträger Jülich geförderte Verbundprojekt „Entwicklung einer standardisierten Methodik für Design und Bewertung von Apparaten und Equipment in foulinggefährdeten Trennprozessen – SAMARA“ hat eine solche Methodik für Kristallisations- und organisches Fouling an metallischen und polymeren Wärmeübertragungsoberflächen sowie in Kolonnenpackungen entwickelt. Als Ergebnis stehen Standardapparaturen für Kolonnen und Wärmeübertrager sowie eine standardisierte Vorgehensweise mit empfohlenen Modellstoffsystemen zur Verfügung, die eine reproduzierbare Quantifizierung der Foulinganfälligkeit von Stoffsystemen oder Apparate- bzw. Equipmentausführungen erlauben. Die Standardisierung von Bewertungsmethoden erlaubt die Setzung von reproduzierbaren Referenzpunkten und unterstützt damit die Innovation und Einsatz neuer, besserer Produkte und Prozesse. Zur Unterstützung des Transfers dieser Ergebnisse liegt eine neue VDI-Richtlinie im Entwurf vor, die demnächst der interessierten Fachöffentlichkeit zur Kommentierung vorgelegt werden wird. Weitere Arbeiten in diesem Heft befassen sich mit Gestrickabscheidern zur Tropfenabscheidung sowie Verdampfung und Kondensation an komplexen Strukturen.
