2 Reactive Distillation
Workshop
With the continuous removal of reaction products, reactive distillation
has found acceptance as a means of improving the technical and
economic operation of processes where it is applicable. Advantages of
this process include higher yields, energy savings and reduced capital
costs.

In this example, you will study the manufacture of Methyl Acetate, an
important oil resin used in the manufacture of artificial leathers. You
will simulate the synthesis of Methyl Acetate from Methanol and Acetic
Acid in a catalytic distillation column.
