Residue curve maps of ethyl acetate synthesis reaction

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.…”

Phase and chemical equilibria in multicomponent fluid systems with a chemical reaction

“…The work of Zheng et al 43 was devoted to analysis of the simple vaporization curves in the acetic acid ± ethanol ± ethyl acetate ± water system. The NRTL model was used in the calculations.…”

“…The given reference to a thesis performed at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology is not sufficient because of inaccessibility of this source. Another diagram in this publication 43 illustrates the transformation of curves of the combined process for different DamkoÈ hler numbers. The authors also presented their own scheme of the ethyl acetate synthesis, which was based on the analysis of curves of the combined process.…”

“…42,62,63 The patterns of curves of combined reactive mass-transfer processes on the chemical equilibrium surfaces was also presented in some publications. 28,42,43,47 The problem of relative arrangement of chemical and phase equilibrium surfaces in the concentration space, which was mentioned in Section II, has a clear practical significance when phase-separated reaction mixtures are considered. A typical general view of the chemical equilibrium and binodal surfaces and their locations in the composition tetrahedron for the systems with the esterification ± ester hydrolysis reaction are presented in Fig.…”
