Our previous work on selectivity engineering using hybrid RD configurations in the traditional mole-fraction space suffers from dimensionality constraints, and achieving desired selectivity is challenging in multireaction systems sensitive to component volatility. Existing algorithms for two-equilibrium-reaction systems require complex hybrid RD columns for more than three components and are typically limited to five. To address these challenges, we propose a novel conceptual design algorithm that enables the desired selectivity of intermediate products. Formulated in the equilibrium reaction-extent space, the methodology employs a combined graphical-simulation approach. The locus of equilibrium reaction extents along the RD column is determined for the desired selectivity, and its intersection with the locus of a single reactive stage RD-obtained by varying separation attributes-identifies feasible RD designs. Demonstrated via ethyl methyl carbonate production in both the design spaces, the method, currently applicable to two equilibrium reactions with intermediate-volatility reactants and single-feed hybrid RD columns; however, it can be extended to three equilibrium reactions and multi-feed configurations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9929,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering and Processing - Process Intensification","volume":"221 ","pages":"Article 110687"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145923580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The predictions indicated that, the radial distribution of gas holdup becomes more uniform with scale-up. Moreover, as the column scale increases, the flow pattern in the empty columns consistently exhibits typical gulf-stream pattern.

The effects of column scale on the turbulence properties are also completely different for the empty column and the column with internals.
