A rate-based non-equilibrium model is developed for CO2 absorption with the mixture of piperazine and potassium carbonate solution. The based on mass heat transfer between liquid gas phases each packed column segment. thermodynamic equilibrium assumption (physical equilibrium) considered only at gas–liquid interface chemical assumed in phase bulk. calculated coefficient from available correlati...

The development of a reactive distillation process for the production of n-butyl acetate by transesterification of methyl acetate with n-butanol is presented. Thermodynamic aspects of the quaternary system n-butyl acetate – n-butanol – methyl acetate – methanol are discussed and UNIQUAC interaction parameters derived using the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB) are given. The reaction kinetics of the het...

Acetaldehyde diethyl acetal (herein called acetal) is an important pollutant of anhydrous ethanol. Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) ethanol–acetal binary system was measured using a vapor condensate and liquid circulation VLE still. The experimental data were correlated with Wilson, nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL), universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) activity coefficient models, which found su...

The low critical solution temperature (LCST) and minimum salt concentration that cause phase splitting in water short-chain alcohol mixtures were determined experimentally. alcohols, which are completely miscible with (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, tert-butanol) most of the common salts (those Na+, K+, Ca2+, NH4+ cations Cl–, SO42–, CO32–, NO3– anions), studied. Experimentally data...
