	abstract = {<p>A support vector regression (SVR)-based model is developed for a batch distillation process in order to estimate the product compositions from temperature measurements. Kernel function such as linear, polynomial and RBF are employed for SVR modelling. The original process data was generated by simulating the batch distillation process, varying the initial feed composition and boilup rate from batch to batch. Within each batch reflux ratio was also randomly changed to represent the true dynamics of the batch distillation. The results show the potential of the method for developing softsensor for chemical processes.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Acetic acid-water system (AW) poses a challenge in reactive distillation, acetic acid purity and loss of acetic acid in aqueous solutions. Feasible separation of AW has been studied using entrainers but acetic acid loss in lean phase cannot be avoided. This study presents feasible region to operate column with toluene and benzene as entrainer for AW. Liquid-liquid equilibrium data and nature of tie line for ethyl acetate are given priority.</p>},
