How to Make an Accurate Diagnosis Before Opening the Column Introduction: Recently, several long-term customers have reported problems with distillation columns that have been in service for many years. In some cases, the main concern is whether the packing has…
Focusing on Process and Enhancing Technology. Jointly Exploring New Pathways for Green Manufacturing of Advanced Materials ICIF China 2026 Concluded Successfully Exhibition Recap From September 15 to 17, the 2026 (23rd) China International Chemical Industry Fair (ICIF China 2026) was successfully…
On September 12, Xingchuan New Materials announced via its official WeChat account that its world-first 10,000-tonne-per-year industrial plant for hyperbranched polyolefin elastomer (H-POE) had achieved a successful one-shot start-up, with the first batch of on-specification products rolling off the line.…
The product leaving a solution polymerization reactor may contain 80%–90% solvent. Post-treatment must remove this solvent, recover unreacted monomers where necessary, and convert the concentrated polymer into a stable, saleable form such as pellets. This operation becomes increasingly difficult as…
Introduction When people search for “anilinoacetonitrile production process” or “how is anilinoacetonitrile produced,” they usually focus on reaction conversion and product purity. An industrial plant, however, must also answer several other questions: Can the glycolonitrile intermediate solution be kept stable?…
How Inclined Plates Improve Mixing, Heat Transfer, and Deposit Control Inclined-plate static mixing elements redirect fluid inside a pipe to strengthen mixing and reorganize the internal flow field. Unlike densely crossed or highly obstructive static mixers, they use relatively open,…
Reactive dividing-wall distillation combines reactive distillation with dividing-wall distillation in a single unit. The core equipment is known as a reactive dividing-wall column, or RDWC. Reactive distillation carries out a chemical reaction and component separation inside the same column. Dividing-wall…
W4 Column Design Series: Final Engineering Case Study This case study connects the principal elements of column design covered in the previous six articles: valve-tray fundamentals, design standards, hydraulic calculations, high-efficiency trays, operating optimization, and simulation tools. The project involves…
Nitration is one of the most established yet challenging reactions in the chemical industry. It has been practiced for more than a century, but nitration accidents and scale-up failures continue to occur. Regulatory pressure in China has also increased. China’s…
Glycolonitrile A Key Bulk Agrochemical Intermediate and Its Transition Toward Greener Production In the fine chemical and bulk agrochemical industries, large-scale markets are often supported not by highly specialized heterocyclic compounds but by basic nitrile intermediates. Glycolonitrile has a significant…
