Esterification reactions by catalytic distillation method (n-pentyl acetate production)

A summary of basic characteristics for n-Pentyl Acetate production in a reactive distillation column is achieved. Computer simulation was performed to study the process and to evaluate operational alternatives. Results show that the reactive system exhibits reactive azeotropy phenomena, as is displa...
