Abstract:

Property integration is a property-based holistic approach to allocate and manipulate streams and processing units, track, adjust, assign and match properties throughout the process.It is a novel system design approach and new branch of process integration.This paper reviewed the recent research advances in single-property integration, graphical approach and mathematical approach for multi-property integration and simultaneous process and molecular design via property integration.The property pinch and ternary graphical approach for property integration are introduced in detail.Finally, several future research suggestions are given.
