摘要
Liquid phase synthesis of one of the important fuel oxygenate, Ethyl tort-butyl ether (ETBE) from ethanol and tort-butyl alcohol (TBA) has been studied in reactive distillation column (RDC) using ion exchange resin catalyst CT-145H. A packed RDC was used to generate experimental data. Effect of different key variables on reactant conversion and product purity in distillate, was investigated to find the optimum operating conditions for ETBE synthesis. The optimum conditions found were; reboiler duty of 375 Watts, molar feed ratio of reactants, 1:1.3 and reflux ratio of seven. Concentration profiles for each component along the length of the column at optimum conditions were also drawn.
