Sorption enhanced reactive process for the synthesis of glycerol ethyl acetal

“…The high value obtained for the correlation coefficient computed using Eq. (19), 0.987, allowed to confirm that the mathematical model implemented was able to accurately describe the breakthrough curves for all species, considering the estimated adsorption parameters.…”

“…However, more recent studies demonstrated that this model is not able to predict the multicomponent adsorption equilibrium over resins with high cross-link degrees that contain highly polar functional groups [41,47,48]. On the other hand, for the particular case of reactiveadsorptive processes comprising acetalization reactions, the Langmuir model has been indicated as an interesting alternative [17][18][19][20], since it does not require extensive computation and it has demonstrated to be able to predict the experimental data reported with significant accuracy. Eq.…”

“…A correlation coefficient of 0.986 was determined for the fitting of the experimental data, according to Eq. (19). Furthermore, the comparison provided by Fig.…”

“…The experimental results are presented in Fig. 8 together with the simulations obtained using the detailed mathematical model developed in the present work (represented by the full lines) and a simplified model (represented by the dashed lines), thoroughly used in the open literature for similar systems [17][18][19] in which the mass transfer phenomena was described by Table 5. Table 5.…”

“…Common applications of this sorption enhanced reactive process include esterifications [10][11][12][13], ester hydrolysis [14,15], etherifications [16] and acetalisations [17][18][19][20]. In most of the aforementioned works, advantage is taken from the sorption and catalytic properties of ion exchange resins.…”
