摘要
An innovative entrainer-enhanced reactive distillation (RD) process is presented, which aims to the production of high-purity butyl cellosolve acetate from butyl cellosolve and acetic acid via an esterification reaction. This entrainer-enhanced RD process can procure technical advantages from both heterogeneous azeotropic distillation and RD. Solvents such as cyclohexane, ethylene dichloride, toluene, and octane are considered as candidates in this esterification RD process. The function of entrainers is to simplify the separation between water and acetic acid. For this purpose, the proper entrainer to use is thus evaluated based on its mutual solubility with water in two liquid phases. Simulation results reveal that total annual cost can be substantially reduced when cyclohexane, toluene, and octane are used as entrainers in the RD column. The octane-enhanced RD provides the most economical design in this studied case. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
