Simulation for the reactive distillation process to synthesize ethyl tert-butyl ether
Reactive distillation was researched for the synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether from ethanol and tert-butyl alcohol. A dynamic mathematical model for this process was developed. The model incorporated reaction kinetics, vapor-liquid non-idealities and the distillation process. The rapid solution for this model can be obtained by overrelexation method. Simulation results are in good agreements with the literature results.
