Description of the research topic:
Natural raw materials as plants contain a wide range and the type of valuable and biologically active compounds and also various extraction methods are applied in industry and are studied at research and development ranging from steam distillation through solvent extractions to pressurised liquid extraction and supercritical fluid extraction. Selection between the methods is in principle based on the technological feasibility, among the selection of the suitable method is made upon economics and availability. While simulation-based economical calculations are well established is certain cases like distillation or heat exchanger networks, similar simulation methodology is not readily available for the extraction of natural raw material. There is a significant lack on phase equilibrium data and/or assumption methodology of a complex and very heterogeneous mixture like soluble plant constituent, and furthermore, the mass transfer limitations must be also taken into account. The PhD fellow will develop a suitable method to simulate the various plant extraction methods in ASPEN Hysis, and he/she will compare the simulation results with experimental extraction data.
