Enhancement of esterification conversion using pervaporation membrane reactor

In the present study, the esterification reaction of propionic acid with isobutyl alcohol to produce isobutyl propionate and water was studied. The performance of esterification reaction was compared by using the batch process and the pervaporation assisted hybrid process which performs the reaction...
