Separation of a reaction mixture of ethyl acetate production via ethanol dehydrogenation

Resumo

The simulation of phase equilibrium in a multicomponent reaction system of ethanol dehydrogenation process has been performed. The structure of the distillation diagram of this system has been found and its evolution during changes in pressure has been studied. An analysis of the diagram properties has made it possible to define the range of values of the operating parameters that allow for the separation of the reaction mixture in order to propose a structure of technological separation system and to carry out its parametric optimization.
