Design and control of transesterification reactive distillation with thermal coupling

Comparison of different reactive distillation schemes for ethyl acetate production using sustainability indicators

“…Various reactive distillation configurations have been studied for the production of EtAc [5,12,14,41,42,29,[45][46][47]. However, most processes can be summarized in a scheme that includes a RD column, a decanter and a purification stripper (RC), as shown in Fig.…”

Reducing Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions in Thermally Coupled Azeotropic Distillation

“…However, the FTCDC is favorable only in certain operating regions [16]. The TCDS-SR and TCDS-SS tend to receive special attention [17,18]. Several studies have shown that distillation sequences with side columns typically can achieve energy savings of around 30 % over conventional direct or indirect distillation sequences [19,20].…”

Multiobjective optimization of reactive distillation with thermal coupling using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II

“…Reactive distillation has become one of the extensively researched process intensification methods due to its ability to reduce energy consumption and number of process units (Wang et al, 2008). The literature and patents in reactive distillation have grown rapidly in recent years as surveyed by Malone and Doherty (Malone et al, 2000).…”
