Abstract:Abstract.A new process was designed for the transesterification of methyl acetate with npropanol. That is, reactive dividing-wall distillation column technology is used instead of conventional reactive distillation column and methyl acetate -methanol separation column to product n-propyl acetate and methanol. The reaction distillation process was simulated by Aspen Plus simulation software. N-propyl acetate and methanol are produced from the bottom of the main column and the sub-column, respectively. The influ… Show more
