Reaction distillation Aspen simulation for sodium methoxide production
Thread Content
Does anyone know the kinetic parameters for this reaction? If not available, could we use a chemical equilibrium model for simulation instead? A beginner is seeking guidance from experts; thank you very much!
A balance model cannot be used; one must turn to dynamics. With a balance model, basically one or two plates are sufficient
The kinetic parameters are all obtained through experiments; they cannot be derived from simulations. The reaction module can be used to simulate thermodynamic data such as Gibbs free energy, but it is not suitable for kinetics
