The esterification reaction between acetic acid and ethanol was studied in a continuous flow pervaporation membrane reactor utilizing a polymeric/ceramic composite membrane. For a range of experimental conditions reactor conversions were observed which are higher than the corresponding calculated eq

Reduction of energy demand is a challenge that must be faced in coming years and process integration in chemical industry is pointed out as a feasible alternative to achieve more efficient processes. In this work, by using acetic acid and ethanol as a model system, pervaporation-assisted heterogeneo
The synthesis of methyl acetate (MeOAc) from methanol (MeOH) and acetic acid (HOAc) in pervaporation membrane reactors (PVMRs) is discussed in this paper. Three modes of PVMR operation, i.e. semi-batch (SB-PVMR), plug-flow (PF-PVMR) and continuous stirred tank (CS-PVMR) were modeled using the kineti
