“…Introduction to conceptual process design Methods for RD design as a unit operation (building block), and process-wide conceptual design methods using RD as a unit operation are reviewed here. In textbooks on conceptual process design, unit operation selection in several steps is briefly mentioned by Harmsen et al 29 and Harmsen and Verkerk. 22 Other textbooks on (plant-wide) process design, notably Smith 30 and Seider et al, 31 do not cover RD.…”

Reactive distillation (RD) is a process intensification technique that offers major advantages over conventional technologies by enabling the integration of reaction and separation into a single apparatus. This integration introduces and exploits complex interaction between mass transfer, chemical reaction and hydrodynamics within an RD column; however, these complexities can hinder the adoption of reactive distillation by industry.Many approaches were developed by the scientific community to advance understanding and to expedite the initialization of RD design at the conceptual level. This paper critically discusses recent developments in conceptual methods for synthesizing RD processes. This review paper is the first to consider the range of available approaches for assessing the technical feasibility, controllability, economic viability, and sustainability, of RD units by taking into account various configurations in which RD is treated as a new unit operation, and as part of process synthesis in a different way of designing processes based on functions. The review also addresses complex configurations, such as advanced RD technologies. Special attention is paid to process modeling and simulation as well as to education. Knowledge gaps to be filled by further research are indicated.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Across the different types of theories and practices, it makes sense to define creativity on the most basic level from its etymology: from Latin creatus, past participle of creare, which means "to make, bring forth, produce, procreate, beget, cause" or "to bring into being" (OED 2019). This definition resembles the Aristotelian hylomorphism by focusing not on process, product or people (Harmsen, Haan, and Swinkels 2018), or any other issues relating to innovation as something novel and value-adding (Schumpeter 1934;Fagerberg, Mowery, and Nelson 2006), but only on creation: bringing forth something that did not exist in that form before. This broad definition sees creative actions and interactions as phenomena that happen on a vast scale.…”

A highly important societal aspect of language use are pragmatic creative acts and interactions. The ability to, through multimodal interaction, create something new, is primordial for human sociality. In this paper, I propose a theoretical model that enables detailed analysis of situated co-operative creative actions as these naturally emerge in interactional situations. First, I develop the theoretical model by extrapolating from Charles Goodwin’s theory of co-operative action. I then illustrate the model through detailed analysis of a single case where participants interact in a video-mediated robotic context. The model is situated within ethnomethodological multimodal conversation analysis and based on video ethnographic data. This research contributes to the field of creativity and human pragmatic action by providing an applicable model for Situated Co-Operative Creativity, the SCOC model, which can be used for detailed analysis of everyday creativity.

“…According to Harmsen et al [25], a pilot plant scale process might be performed for many different reasons, such as provision of reliable stream compositions and insight into realistic process conditions. Hydrothermal pretreatment methods have been previously studied and modeled at pilot scale for a wide range of conditions and settings, including continuous tubular reactors [26][27][28].…”

Liquid hot water pretreatment is considered to be a promising method for increasing biomass digestibility due to the moderate operational conditions without chemical additions. A necessary step towards the scalability of this pretreatment process is performing pilot plant trials. Upscaling was evaluated with a scaling factor of 500, by using 50 mL in the laboratory and 25 L in a pilot plant batch reactor. Pretreatment times were varied from 30 to 240 min, and temperatures used were 180–188 °C, while applying similar heating profiles at both scales. The initial mass fraction of poplar wood chips ranged from 10% to 16%. Liquid hot water pretreatment at laboratory and pilot scale led to analogous results. The acetic acid analysis of the liquid and solid fractions obtained after pretreatment indicated that complete deacetylation of poplar biomass can be achieved.
