Investigation about profitability improvement for synthesis of benzyl acetate in different types of batch distillation columns

Yes / In this work, for the first time, the synthesis of benzyl acetate via the esterification of acetic acid and benzyl alcohol is investigated in the reactive distillation system using a middle vessel (MVD), inverted (IBD), and conventional batch reactive distillation columns. The measurement of the performance of these column schemes is determined in terms of profitability through minimization of the batch time for a defined separation task. The control variables (reboil ratio for MVD, IBD columns) and (reflux ratio in case of CBD column) are considered as piecewise constants over batch time. The optimization results obviously indicate that the CBD system is a more attractive process in terms of batch time reduction, and maximum achievable yearly profit as compared to the MVD, and IBD operations.
