Conceptual Design of Reactive Distillation Columns with Non-Reactive Sections
Reactive distillation has received intense attention due to the well known benefits of integrating distillation with reaction in a single unit. While there are procedures available for the synthesis of non-reactive columns and of reaction-separation systems, the design of reactive distillation columns is still a challenge. This work presents a new synthesis and design methodology for reactive d...
متن کاملDesign optimization of reactive distillation columns by memetic algorithms
Design optimization problems in chemical engineering and in many other engineering domains are characterized by the presence of a large number of discrete and continuous decision variables, complex nonlinear models that restrict the search space, nonlinear cost functions, and the presence of many local optima. The classical approach to such problems is the use of MINLP solvers that work on a su...
متن کاملUsing Thermally Coupled Reactive Distillation Columns in Biodiesel Production
Production of ethyl dodecanoate (biodiesel) using lauric acid and methanol with a solid acid catalyst of sulfated zirconia is studied by using two distillation sequences. In the first sequence, the methanol recovery column follows the reactive distillation column. In the second sequence, the reactive distillation and methanol recovery columns are thermally coupled. Thermally coupled distillatio...
متن کاملEntrainer-enhanced Reactive Distillation
The paper presents the use of a Mass Separation Agent (entrainer) in reactive distillation processes. This can help to overcome limitations due to distillation boundaries, and in the same time increase the degrees of freedom in design. The catalytic esterification of fatty acids with light alcohols C2-C4 is studied as application example. Because the alcohol and water distillate in top simultan...
متن کاملFrom Reactive Distillation To Reactive Membrane Separation: A Generalized Approach For Feasibility Analysis
A new feasibility analysis methodology generalized from distillation is applied to membrane process. The model is formulated to depict the reactive liquid phase composition on the retentate side of membrane reactors. The effects of both chemical reaction and membrane mass transfer kinetics on the feasible products are elucidated by means of retentate phase diagrams and bifurcation analysis. In ...
