Reactive Distillation in DWSIM

Learning Objective 

• How to setup chemical reaction kinetics in distillation column. 

• How to specify reaction chamber inside distillation column. 

• How to recover unreacted reactant and recycle it. 

• How to use pump and valve unit operations

Basic Information 

It integrates chemical reaction and distillation in a single apparatus. (reversible,

 

liquid phase reactions)

 Removing one or more of the products is one of the principles behind

 

reactive distillation

>reduced capital investment 

>significant energy savings 

>surpass equilibrium limitations 

>simplify complex processes

 >Increase product selectivity

>improve separation efficiency
