用离子液体作催化剂和夹带剂时在反应萃取精馏塔中乙酸甲酯和正丁醇酯交换反应的模拟

A new reactive and extractive distillation process with ionic liquids as entrainer and catalyst (RED-IL) was proposed to produce methanol and n-butyl acetate by transesterification reaction of methyl acetate with n-butanol. The RED-IL process was simulated via a rigorous model, and high purity products of methanol and n-butyl acetate can be obtained in such a process. The effects of reflux ratio, feed mode, holdup, feed location, entrainer ratio and catalyst concentration on RED-IL process were investigated. The conversion of methyl acetate and purities of products increase with the holdup in column, entrainer ratio and catalyst content. An optimal reflux ratio exists in RED-IL process. Comparing to the mixed-feed mode, the segregated-feed mode is more effective, in which the optimal feed locations of reactants exist.     

Optimization of coproduction of ethyl acetate and n-butyl acetate by reactive distillation☆

Based on a previous investigation, a simulation model was used for optimization of coproduction of ethyl acetate and n-butyl acetate by reactive distil ation. An experimental setup was established to verify the simulated results. The effects of various operating variables, such as ethanol feed location, acetic acid feed location, feed stage of reaction mixture of acetic acid and n-butanol, reflux ratio of ethyl acetate reactive distillation column, and distil-late to feed ratio of n-butyl acetate column, on the ethanol/n-butanol conversions, ethyl acetate/n-butyl acetate purity, and energy consumption were investigated. The optimal results in the simulation study are as follows:ethanol feed location, 15th stage;acetic acid feed location, eighth stage;feed location of reaction mixture of acetic acid and n-butanol, eighth stage;reflux ratio of ethyl acetate reactive distillation column, 2.0;and distillate to feed ratio of n-butyl acetate, 0.6.     

矿物均相酸催化剂催化甲醇和乙酸酯化反应动力学(英文)

In this work, esterification of acetic acid and methanol to synthesize methyl acetate in a batch stirred reactor is studied in the temperature range of 305.15–333.15 K. Sulfuric acid is used as the homogeneous catalyst with concentrations ranging from 0.0633 mol·L?1 to 0.3268 mol·L?1. The feed molar ratio of acetic acid to methanol is varied from 1:1 to 1:4. The influences of temperature, catalyst concentration and reactant concentration on the reaction rate are investigated. A second order kinetic rate equation is used to correlate the experimental data. The forward and backward reaction rate constants and activation energies are determined from the Arrhenius plot. The developed kinetic model is compared with the models in literature. The developed kinetic equation is useful for the simulation of reactive distillation column for the synthesis of methyl acetate.     

催化精馏塔中乙酸甲酯水解的研究

A nonequilibrium stage model was used to simulate countercurrent multicomponent catalytic distillation processes for methyl acetate hydrolysis. Computations of stage eiliciencies or height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) were entirely avoided by this model. The consistency of simulated results and experimental data in conversions and concentration of each component along a column indicates that the model predicts the actual process well. The influences of operating parameters on hydrolytic conversions, such as feed molar ratios, feed locations, feed and reflux rates, heights of reactive and stripping sections, were analyzed adequately by simulating calcuiations. A good operating mode was then obtained, which is helpful to the development of a new process.

一个用于精馏塔模拟的新模型

A new computational mass transfer model is proposed for simulating the distillation process by solving the fluctuating mass flux for the closure of turbulent mass transfer equation in order to obtain the concentration profile and the separation efficiency of distillation column. The feather of the proposed model is to abandon the conventional way of introducing the turbulent mass transfer diffusivity (dispersion coefficient) to the turbulent mass transfer equation. To verify the validity of the proposed model, a commercial scale packed column and a sieve tray column were simulated and compared with published experimental data. The simulated results were satisfactorily confirmed in both concentration distribution and separation efficiency.     

反置式间歇蒸馏塔的设计程序(Ⅰ)多组分理想物系

Inverted batch distillation column(stripper) is opposed to a conventional batch distillation column(rectifier). It has a storage vessel at the top and products leave the column at the bottom. The batch stripper is favourable to separate mixtures with a small amount of light components by removing the heavy components as bottom products. In this paper, we are presenting a shortcut procedure based on our earlier work for design and simulation of the inverted batch distillation column, which is equivalent to the Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland procedure for continuous distillation. Given a separation task, we propose to compute the minimum number of stages(Nbmin) and the minimum reboil ratio(Rbmin) required in a batch stripper,which are the stages and reboil ratio required in a hypothetical inverted batch distillation column operating in total reboil ratio or having an infinite number of stages,respectively. Then, it is shown that the performance of inverted batch columns with a finite number of stages and reboil ratios could be correlated in Gilliland coordinates with the minimum stages Nbmln and the minimum reboil ratio Rbmin.     

乙酸与甲醇的催化酯化

Esterification of methyl alcohol with acetic acid catalysed by Amberlyst-15 (cation-exchange resin) was carried out in a batch reactor in the temperature ranging between 318-338 K, at atmospheric pressure. The reaction rate increased with increase in catalyst concentration and reaction temperature, but decreased with an increase in water concentration. Stirrer speed had virtually no effect on the rate under the experimental conditions. The rate data were correlated with a second-order kinetic model based on homogeneous reaction. The apparent activation energy was found to be 22.9kJmol-1 for the formation of methyl acetate. The methyl acetate production was carried out as batch and continuous in a packed bed reactive distillation column with high purity methyl acetate produced.

Hydrolysis of methyl acetate via catalytic distillation: Simulation and design of new technological process

An equilibrium stage model was developed for the simulation of the catalytic distillation process of methyl acetate (MeOAc) hydrolysis. In the model, the influences of the reactive kinetics, residence-time, liquid holdup, and separation efficiency of the catalytic packing were considered. The model predicted the conversion of MeOAc and the mass ratio of acetic acid to water in the hydrolysis mixture. The predictions were in good agreement with experimental data. A novel process was designed based on the results of theoretic analysis and the simulation research. This new process had a higher conversion of MeOAc compared with the results in previous research and was found to be energy efficient. Optimal effect parameters and design factors of new technology on energy consumption and conversion were also determined and summarized as the following: the position of side draw is 18th to 19th stages, the catalytic distillation (CD) column pressure is at 350 kPa, the volume ratio of reflux to feed is 6–8, mole ratio of feed water to MeOAc is 3.5–4.5, and the mass ratio of side withdrawal to feed is 0.32–0.34.     

Removal of acetic acid from water by catalytic distillation. Part 1: Experimental studies

Catalytic distillation experiments were carried out in a 100 mm diameter column for the removal of dilute acetic acid from water. The column was installed with a novel internal composed of alternating a dualflow tray and a catalyst basket. Amberlyst 15 was used as a catalyst to accelerate the esterification of acetic acid with methanol. The effects of various operating parameters on the acid removal were investigated. For the feed which contains 2.5 to 9.9 wt% of acetic acid in water, more than 50 wt% of acetic acid can be recovered as methyl acetate in the 1.5 meter high test column.
