Abstract
In this paper, the feasibility of applying catalytic distillation for the h ydrolysis of methyl acetate is studied experimentally. An optimum technolog ical process for the hydrolysis is determined, based on experimental result s and mathematical simulations. The methyl acetate conversion can be greatl y increased, and the energy consumption reduced, for certain operation cond itions via the catalytic distillation process.
