Separation of Methanol/butene/mtbe Using Hybrid Distillation-membrane Processes
Distillation Residue Curve Maps (D-RCM’s) have proven to be an extremely useful graphical tool in the design and operation of both batch and continuous distillation processes. Recently submitted work by the authors has investigated the applications of Residue Curve Maps for membrane permeation systems. Such maps are referred to as M-RCM’s. This paper aims to develop a graphical tool to provide ...
متن کاملConceptual Design of n-Butyl Acetate Synthesis Process by Reactive Distillation Using Residue Curve Maps
Residue curve maps are a powerful tool for the preliminary design of Reactive Distillation (RD). In this study, residue curve maps of the n-butyl acetate synthesis reaction were calculated based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson kinetic and UNIQUAC models to calculate the physical properties of the system. The results showed that the unstable node branch emerged from the n-butyl ace...
متن کاملSynthesis and Optimization of Separation Section of MTBE Process
Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is known as a promising substitute for tetra ethyl lead (TEL) in order to increase the octane number of gasoline. MTBE process, as many other processes, has two distinguished section, namely reaction section and separation section. In this paper we focus only on synthesis and optimization of separation section of this process. In order to achieve this obje...
متن کاملOptimization of a reactive distillation process with intermediate condensers for silane production
This work presents a reactive distillation column for the catalytic disproportionation of trichlorosilane to silane which includes three consecutive reversible reactions. This reaction system is however characterized by a large distinction in the boiling points of the components, which make the reactive distillation extremely favored. Nevertheless, the normal reactive distillation column posses...
متن کاملDesign optimization of reactive distillation columns by memetic algorithms
Design optimization problems in chemical engineering and in many other engineering domains are characterized by the presence of a large number of discrete and continuous decision variables, complex nonlinear models that restrict the search space, nonlinear cost functions, and the presence of many local optima. The classical approach to such problems is the use of MINLP solvers that work on a su...
