Review of Heuristic Rules and Complex Column Arrangements for the Sequencing of Multicomponent Distillation Column
Abstract: An ordinary distillation column separates a binary feed into two products, but multi-component mixtures need more complex separation sequences. For a ternary mixture of component ABC, the separation can follow a direct sequence (A/BC, B/C) or an indirect sequence (AB/C, A/B), in which the direct sequence is preferred due to the lower operating cost. The heuristic rules based sequencing can be adapted for multi-component complex feed. As the number of …

Role of Bioactive Compounds on Protein Utilization in Ruminants: A Review
Abstract: Insufficient nutrition is the primary drive of low productivity by ruminants. These insufficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds and locally available tree legumes. These tree legumes contain various types of bioactive compounds, which can be defined as secondary plant metabolites (PSM) that are extra nutritional substances having pharmacological or toxicological effects in man and animals. Besides the primary biosynthetic, the secondary metabolites are also produced within the …
