Abstract
Residue curve maps, flash simulations and column simulation are used to investigate
the effect of various entrainers with different polarity an esterification with isopropanol
through Entrainer-based Reactive Distillation. Non-polar solvents are predicted to
be good entrainers. For a more quantitative selection of entrainers further research
concerning the thermodynamics is needed. © 2006 IChemE
