Although the heat integrated distillation has been researched for a number of decades, unfortunately it has not yet been commercialized mainly due to high investment cost, complex equipment design, control problem in consequence of severe interaction and nonlinearity, and lack of experimental data at sufficiently large scale to verify the theoretical predictions.
Before this study, only 10% of the Fe2O3 produced at USIMINAS was commercialized, due mainly to the high content of chloride (approximately 0.45%, w/w).
"It's about things that are commercial, commercializing everything, commercializing the revolution," he says.

However, although the very earliest pharmaceutical products were botanical and/or natural multicomponent preparations, by now mainly purely isolated monocompounds or synthetic analogues are commercialized as conventional drugs [ 1, 2].
This is evidenced by currently commercialized generation III light water reactors (LWRs) that mainly rely on today's operating reactors' technologies engineered in such a way as to optimizing their safety and economic performance.
Mainly due to their great research interests, the phosphors have been commercialized as night or dark environment vision materials for a wide range of applications such as security signs, emergency route signage, identification markers, or medical diagnostics [2].
Nowadays amphibole fibers cannot be commercialized in many countries and have been replaced by serpentine fibers, mainly by chrysotile, which accounts for more than 95% of asbestos found in United States buildings.
"They just commercialized it.
