Use of a Reactive Distillation in the Process of Producing Diethyl Ether Using Dewatering of Ethanol

Diethyl ether is considered as one of the simplest and lightest oxygenated fuels, which has higher octane thermal energy than dimethyl ether. can be renewable fuels produced by applying a reactive distillation method. Reaction complex process in chemical industry separation reaction are carried out simultaneously. In this paper, high purity ethanol dewatering, production diethyl simulated using Aspen Hysys software. Different models activity coefficients have been analyzed paper. The best model for molecular was found to most important cases simulating unit obtain strong thermodynamic highly unrealistic behavior fluid-liquid-vapor balance system. Finally, results simulation with data compared very good match observed.
