چکیده

The catalytic esterification of n-propyl propionate using propionic acid and n-propyl alcohol as reactants via a conventional pilot plant reactive distillation column was carried-out. The strongly acidic ion-exchange resin Amberlyst46TM was used as the solid acid catalyst. The influence of the reflux ratio (from 2.0 to 2.5), the molar feed ratio (from 2.0 to 2.5), and total feed (from 3.0 to 4.0 kg/h) on the purity and conversion of the species and on the composition and temperature profiles along the column was vailable online xxx

Conceptual Design of n-Butyl Acetate Synthesis Process by Reactive Distillation Using Residue Curve Maps

Residue curve maps are a powerful tool for the preliminary design of Reactive Distillation (RD). In this study, residue curve maps of the n-butyl acetate synthesis reaction were calculated based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson kinetic and UNIQUAC models to calculate the physical properties of the system. The results showed that the unstable node branch emerged from the n-butyl ace...

The Investigation of Purity Improvement for the Production of Methyl Propionate in Different Types of Batch Distillation Systems

Methyl propionate, also known as methyl propanoate, is a clear colourless liquid with a characteristic odour (fruity smell and taste). In this study, the formation of methyl propionate through the esterification of propionic acid and methanol was investigated in the reactive distillation system using a conventional (CBD), single feed (SF-SBD), and double feed semi-batch distillation (DF-SBD) co...

On-line Parameter Estimation and Control for a Pilot Scale Distillation Column

A dynamic model developed in the HYSYS process simulator was validated using experimental data obtained from a pilot scale cyclohexane / n-heptane distillation. The resulting model was linked to the pilot unit’s DeltaV (Emerson Process Management) process control software. This link allowed non-measured parameter estimation to occur in parallel with the operation and control of the pilot plant ...
