Design and Control of Ionic Liquid‐Catalyzed Reactive Distillation for n‐Butyl Acetate Production

A simulation study of n‐butyl acetate production with the [Hpy][HSO₄] ionic liquid catalyst was performed. Due to the lack of phase equilibrium data, the binary interaction parameters of the NRTL model for ionic liquid and reactive species were calculated by the COSMO‐RS technique. A reactive distillation process with recycled ionic liquid stream was proposed, and the column configuration was optimized by minimization of the total annual capital. The novel process is considerably efficient and economic compared to the traditional reactive distillation process of nonionic liquids. With the steady‐state parameters, a plant‐wide control structure was further developed to evaluate the robustness of the control system by exerting the disturbances of feed flow rate and feed composition. Dynamic simulation results suggest that the control scheme with a composition controller is timely and effective.

Synthesis of Chloro Alkoxy and Alkoxy Derivatives of Methyl Oleate

Vegetable oil based lubricants typically have improved lubricity and biodegradability over their mineral oil based counterparts. However, vegetable oil lubricants often fail to meet the performance standards of mineral based oils with respect to cold temperature and resistance to oxidation. Olefins are an oxidatively weak point for vegetable based compounds. Removal of the olefin in a vegetable based lubricant through functionalization may increase resistance to oxidation. If the added functionality also causes branching of the alkyl chain, cold temperature properties may be improved. Any chemical modifications considered must be scalable and cost-effective to be useful in a commercial application. In this study, methyl oleate was functionalized into a chloro alkoxy derivative. Sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) and calcium hypochlorite were both used to generate hypochlorous acid in situ. Hypochlorous acid and a series of alcohols (methanol, ethanol, and butanol) were reacted with methyl oleate to make chloro alkoxy compounds in 29.8–77.9 % yields. In an effort to make a branched saturated ether we removed the chlorine moiety of the chloro alkoxy compounds. Dehalogenation was achieved under basic conditions over a Pd/C catalyst in 2-propanol. Reaction times increased substantially as the size of the adjacent alkoxy group increased. The reaction rate could be improved by heating the reactions above 100 °C in a pressure reactor. Increased reaction temperature also resulted in an increase in ketone side products from the competing elimination reactions. Saturated ether yields were 4.1–43.2 %.

Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Based Method for the Quantification of Epoxidized Methyl Oleate

Epoxidized methyl esters (EMO) with their high oxirane ring reactivity, acts as a raw material in the synthesis of various industrial chemicals including polymers, stabilizers, plasticizers, glycols, polyols, carbonyl compounds, biolubricants etc. EMO has been generally quantified by the gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques. Taking into the account of the limitations of these techniques, two qHNMR-based equations have been proposed for the quantification of EMO in the mixture of EMO and methylesters (MO). The validity of the proposed method was determined using standard mixtures of MO and EMO having different molar concentrations. The developed equations have been applied on the samples of EMO prepared from oleic acid in two-step process viz., esterification followed by epoxidation. The qHNMR-based EMO quantification showed acceptable agreement with the results obtained from HPLC analysis.

Esterification of fatty acids in a thermally coupled reactive distillation column by the two-step supercritical methanol method

Biodiesel fuel has been shown as a clean energy alternative to petroleum diesel. Conventional biodiesel production involves the use of catalyst, which implies high energy consumptions for the separation of both the catalyst and the by-products of the reaction, including those of the undesirable reaction of saponification. Recently, a process involving the use of short-chain alcohols at supercritical conditions has been proposed (Saka-Dadan process); one of the main advantages of that process is that it avoids the need for a catalyst as well as the occurrence of the saponification reaction. However, although the process requires less pieces of equipment than the conventional one, its energy requirements are still high, making biodiesel fuel more expensive than petroleum diesel. This work proposes the use of reactive distillation and thermally coupled reactive distillation configurations to produce biodiesel fuel by the supercritical methanol method. First-order kinetics is used to represent the esterification reaction, obtaining high conversions in a single shell. Both of the configurations proposed reduce energy requirements when compared to the conventional (Saka-Dadan) process. Calculations were also performed to estimate CO₂ emissions, thermodynamic efficiency and cost. The thermally coupled reactive distillation configuration shows to be the best alternative in terms of energy consumption, CO₂ emissions and thermodynamic efficiency. Further, cost estimations also show that the use of a thermally coupled scheme considerably reduces both utilities and capital costs.     

Feasibility study of a thermally coupled reactive distillation process for biodiesel production

Biodiesel fuel represents an interesting alternative as a clean and renewable substitute of fossil fuels. A typical biodiesel production process involves the use of a catalyst, which implies high energy consumptions for the separation of the catalyst and the by-products of the reaction, including those of undesirable side reactions (such as the saponification reaction). A recently proposed process involves the use of short-chain alcohols at supercritical conditions, avoiding the use of a catalyst and the occurrence of the saponification reaction. This process requires fewer pieces of equipment than the conventional one, but its high energy requirements and the need of special materials that support the reaction conditions makes the main product, biodiesel fuel, more expensive than petroleum diesel. In this work, a modification of the supercritical process for the production of biodiesel fuel is proposed. Two alternatives are proposed. The process involves the use of either reactive distillation or thermally coupled reactive distillation. Simulations have been carried out by using the Aspen One™ process simulator to demonstrate the feasibility of such alternatives to produce biodiesel with methanol at high pressure conditions. A design method for the thermally coupled system is also proposed. Both systems have been tested and the results indicate favorable energy performance when compared to the original scheme. Furthermore, the thermally coupled system shows lower energy consumptions than the reactive distillation column.

Theoretical Investigations on the Quaternary System n‐Butanol,Butyl Acetate,Acetic Acid and Water

Reactive distillation has been established for different processes, for example, the production of MTBE and TAME. Numerous publications have shown experimental and theoretical results of such etherification processes. The present paper deals with a theoretical background for an esterification process. The investigations will be carried out with the quaternary system consisting of n‐butanol, butyl acetate, acetic acid and water. For this system, not often used in literature, the chemical equilibrium constant and a suitable reaction kinetic has to be found. The different singular points will be checked and the kind of singularity will be determined. Residue curve maps will show the shape of simulations from different starting points. The differences between a simple distillation process and a reactive distillation process will be demonstrated.     

Glycerolysis of Crude Methyl Esters with Crude Glycerol from Biodiesel Production

Glycerolysis of crude fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) with crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production was performed. The reaction was accomplished at temperatures ranging between 160 and 200 °C and molar ratios of FAME to glycerol ranging between 1.5 and 3.0. Increasing the temperature improved the formation rate of monoglycerides (MG) and diglycerides (DG). However, increasing both the temperature and the molar ratio of glycerol to FAME diminished the formation of MG. Best results (43 % MG and 26 % DG in 10 min) were obtained at 200 °C using the lowest concentration of glycerol. The effects of soap and NaOH present in crude glycerol were controlled by carrying out the reaction with pure glycerol. In comparison with NaOH-catalyzed reactions, soap-catalyzed reactions resulted in a slower formation rate of products. However, soap-catalyzed reactions were less prone to secondary reactions, affording maximum yields of MG and DG, which were higher than those obtained with NaOH-catalyzed reactions at 180 and 200 °C.     

Methyl Ethyl Ketone Production through an Intensified Process

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is widely used in the industry and is mainly produced from petroleum. Some works have projected MEK as a possible fuel since its performance in spark engines has overcome the performance of gasoline in certain indexes. Two intensified alternatives to produce MEK are introduced here, consisting of a reactive distillation column, an extractive distillation column, and three conventional distillation columns. The direct alternative resulted as the most promising when it was evaluated based on energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and an environmental index. The obtained energy consumption for MEK production was 11.62 MJ kg_MEK⁻¹ for the entire process. Moreover, those intensified alternatives showed better performance indexes in comparison with a conventional process.     

Reactive‐Injecting Follow‐Through Shaped Charges from Sequent‐Material Conical Liners

Shaped charges using reactive‐metal liners have the potential for beyond‐penetration effects, e.g. thermodynamic events that increase pressure in a volume adjacent to the penetration. Shaped charge liners made from a copper penetrating‐ and an aluminum reactive‐component in a sequent‐material configuration were compared in tests to baseline homogeneous copper liners. Copper lined shaped charges had greater mild steel penetration performance, but lacked beyond‐penetration pressurization effects exhibited by the sequent‐material lined units. Jet capture experiments, beyond‐penetration constant‐volume tests, and thermochemical equilibrium calculations provide evidence supporting the aluminum slug comminution into unoxidized reactive fuel, augmenting beyond‐penetration effects.     

Production of Isopropyl and Methyl Esters from Yellow Mustard Oil/IPA Miscellas

Using an isopropyl alcohol (IPA):flour [volume:weight (ml:g)] ratio of 1.5:1 per stage of extraction resulted in an oil yield of 86.3%. The combined miscella (IPA + oil), which contained 90.6 wt% IPA, 9.8 wt% oil, and 2.1 wt% water, was used as a feedstock for biodiesel production by transesterification. Transesterification of the IPA/oil miscella dehydrated using adsorption on 4Å molecular sieves with 1.2 wt% (based on oil) potassium hydroxide for 2 h at 72 °C converted only 29% of the feed to esters. The addition of methanol (MeOH) resulted in an ester yield of 87%, consisting of 79% methyl ester and 7% isopropyl ester when starting with an IPA:oil:MeOH molar ratio of 146:1:30. By increasing the KOH catalyst to 3 wt%, the ester yield increased to 94%. To increase the ester yield, the miscella was pretreated with sulfuric acid. This resulted in a reduction of the IPA content, the removal of other impurities such as phospholipids, and reduction of the water mass fraction to less than 1%. When IPA was used as a cosolvent with methanol in the transesterification process, a very high ester conversion (>99%) was achieved. The biodiesel produced was compliant with ASTM standards, showing that IPA can be used as a solvent for oil extraction from yellow mustard flour.

Structure‐Based Mechanism of Oleate Hydratase from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

Hydratases provide access to secondary and tertiary alcohols by regio‐ and/or stereospecifically adding water to carbon‐carbon double bonds. Thereby, hydroxy groups are introduced without the need for costly cofactor recycling, and that makes this approach highly interesting on an industrial scale. Here we present the first crystal structure of a recombinant oleate hydratase originating from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in the presence of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). A structure‐based mutagenesis study targeting active site residues identified E122 and Y241 as crucial for the activation of a water molecule and for protonation of the double bond, respectively. Moreover, we also observed that two‐electron reduction of FAD results in a sevenfold increase in the substrate hydration rate. We propose the first reaction mechanism for this enzyme class that explains the requirement for the flavin cofactor and the involvement of conserved amino acid residues in this regio‐ and stereoselective hydration.     

An integrated reactive distillation process for biodiesel production

An integrated reactive distillation process for biodiesel production is proposed. The reactive separation process consists of two coupled reactive distillation columns (RDCs) considering the kinetically controlled reactions of esterification of the fatty acids (FFA) and the transesterification of glycerides with methanol, respectively. The conceptual design of the reactive distillation columns was performed through the construction of reactive residue curve maps in terms of elements. The design of the esterification reactive distillation column consisted of one reactive zone loaded with Amberlyst 15 catalyst and for the transesterification reactive column two reactive zones loaded with MgO were used. Intensive simulation of the integrated reactive process considering the complex kinetic expressions and the PC-SAFT EOS was performed using the computational environment of Aspen Plus. The final integrated RD process was able to handle more than 1% wt of fatty acid contents in the vegetable oil. However, results showed that the amount of fatty acids in the vegetable oil feed plays a key role on the performance (energy cost, catalyst load, methanol flow rate) of the integrated esterification–transesterification reactive distillation process.
