Chemical engineering simulation of membrane separation coupled with reactions
Thread Content
I would like to use chemical simulation methods to study the process by which water, a product of the esterification reaction, facilitates the reaction as it escapes from the reaction system. I’m not sure which software and methods would be suitable; I hope everyone can offer some help. It would be great if there were some established approaches that I could refer to. Thank you.
ASPEN includes a module for membrane separation; I have seen simulations of membrane separation before, particularly for the dehydration process in acetic ester production. However, this paper does not provide specific simulation calculations. If I have time, I will find them and send them to you for reference!
