چکیده

راه‌اندازی ستون‌های پایلوت به‌عنوان پیش‌زمینه طراحی فرایندها در مقیاس صنعتی از دیرباز موردتوجه بوده است. باوجود مزایای متعدد، ستون‌های تقطیر واکنشی پایلوت معدودی راه‌اندازی شده است. بررسی مطالعات انجام شده و واکنش‌های مشابه مشخص گردید که تقطیر واکنشی برای واکنش‌های استری شدن، استری شدن چندمرحله‌ای، تولید ترکیبات اتری، آلکیل‌دار کردن، رطوبت‌زدایی، استیل‌دار کردن و ایزومردار کردن می‌تواند کاربرد داشته باشد. تطابق ناحیه دمایی بهینه برای انجام واکنش شیمیایی مدنظر با ناحیه دمایی عملیاتی ستون تقطیر یکی از پارامترهای کلیدی در طراحی فرایند تقطیر واکنشی است. از طرفی یکی از مهم‌ترین پیش‌شرط‌های اجرای فرایند، بررسی نقاط هم‌جوشی واکنشی است. قطر ستون‌های پایلوت مورد استفاده در غالب تحقیق‌ها 50 میلی‌متر گزارش شده است. ارتفاع ستون‌ها با توجه به نوع فرایند و سختی جداسازی متفاوت است. آکنه‌های ساختاریافته کاتالیستی Sulzer بیش‌ترین کاربرد را در این ستون‌ها داشته‌اند.

چکیده [English]

The design and operation of pilot columns have long been considered as a prerequisite for the design of industrial-scale processes. Despite the obvious benefits, a few reactive distillation pilot plants have been set up. Researches have been shown that reactions such as esterification, transesterification, etherification, alkylation, dehumidification, acetylation and isomerization are best suited in reactive distillation columns. In general, the adaptation of the optimal temperature zone for the chemical reaction is the key parameter in designing reactive distillation columns. On the other hand, one of the most important preconditions for the implementation of these processes is the study of reactive azeotrope points. The diameter of the pilot columns used in most studies is 50 mm and the height of the columns varies according to the type of the process. Sulzer catalytic structured packing has been used mostly in these columns.
