Optimization of cyclical process for CO coupling regeneration reactions

In this paper the steady simulation and optimization were carried on for th e synthesis of oxalate by carbon monoxide coupling-regeneration reaction in the gaseous phase with sequential modular approach modification software A SPEN, PRO/? and programs about two-dimension quasi-homogeneous reactor and gas-liquid bubble column reactor. At the same time, the influence of variou s operating parameters were investigated and the optimal operation range wa s determined. As well as the significance test about the simulation results and experimental results were carried out and the belief level is 95%. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
