| Tóm tắt: | Title screen In the present study, the esterification reaction of propionic acid with isobutyl alcohol to produce isobutyl propionate and water was studied. The performance of esterification reaction was compared by using the batch process and the pervaporation assisted hybrid process which performs the reaction and separation simultaneously. A polyvinyl alcohol-polyethersulphone (PVA-PES) hydrophilic polymeric membrane was used in the study to separate water and also to shift the equilibrium. The influence of process parameters such as catalyst loading, molar ratio of acid to alcohol, reaction temperature and ratio of membrane area to initial reaction volume (S/V) was studied. The results showed that the pervaporation assisted esterification process gave more conversion than the batch process of esterification. The membrane showed high selectivity to the removal of water in the propionic acid, isobutyl alcohol, isobutyl propionate and water mixture. Moreover, the conversion of propionic acid was enhanced by enhancing the catalyst amount, molar ratio of acid to alcohol, reaction temperature and S/V ratio. |
