Modeling and Modernization of Tray Towers for Reactive Distillation Processes

Аннотация

The velocity, temperature, and concentration fields on a bubble tray were numerically modeled for a reactive distillation process using a two-dimensional mathematical model of momentum, mass, and heat transfer phenomena as a basis. The Murphree mass transfer efficiency matrix has been obtained. Some engineering solutions for modernizing an industrial plant for separating a ternary mixture with the possibility of increasing the initial mixture processing capacity by 25% and improving the efficiency of the reactive distillation process have been considered.
