The reactive distillation provides an attractive alternative for reaction/separation processes
with reversible reactions, especially for etherification and esterification. The discrete nature …

The combustion and pyrolysis behaviors of light esters and fatty acid methyl esters have
been widely studied due to their relevance as biofuel and fuel additives. However, a …

The n-amyl acetate synthesis from the esterification reaction of acetic acid and n-amyl
alcohol in a pilot plant catalytic distillation column with a decanter was evaluated. A novel …

This study deals with the separation of n-butyl acetate, n-butanol and acetic acid from
aqueous solutions by pervaporation using a poly (ether block amide) membrane. Initially the …

Jimenez and Costa-Lopez (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2002, 41, 6735) recently discussed a
reactive distillation process for the production of butyl acetate in which an extractive agent is …

An ionic liquid (IL) catalyst 1-sulfobutyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate,[HSO3-
BMIM][HSO4], was used to produce n-butyl acetate (BuAc) via esterification. A novel …

For the real time monitoring of a Reactive Distillation Column (RDC), a Recurrent Neural
Network (RNN) based soft sensor has been proposed to estimate the bottoms product …

The recovery of acetic acid by reactive distillation through esterification with methanol in the
presence of ion-exchange resin as a catalyst has been investigated in detail. A kinetic …

The esterification reaction of acetic acid with n-butanol in a continuous catalytic distillation
system has been studied. The products of esterification reaction viz, water and butyl acetate …

This paper designs an entrainer combined with a sidedraw to enhance the reactive
distillation (RD) process of isopropyl acetate (IPAc). Acetic acid (HAc) reacts with …
