dc.description.abstract |
In this effort, the batch reactive distillation performance was studied by the production of butyl acetate in a batch packed bed reactive distillation column. Esterification of butan-1-ol with acetic acid to produce butyl acetate and water with homogenous hydrochloric acid as a catalyst was considered. This system was chosen because the reaction is reversible and the boiling point of reactants and products are different. The reaction was carried out with and without a distillation column and shows that the reactive distillation is more efficient from the conventional process (reactor and then separation). The concentration of butyl acetate increases from 12.38% to 31.74% at the best condition of feed mole ratio of 2. |
