Abstract
A pilot-plant research of butylacetate synthesis via catalytic distillation has been performed. Katapak(R) in combination with CY(R) packing were used as the experimental column packings. Computer simulation has been performe d to study the process and to evaluate the experimental data. A new technol ogy of high-purity butylacetate production has been designed, based on the pilot plant data. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
