ABSTRACT In this study, residue curve map for quaternary reactive system was predicted. Single

residue curve behaves as batch distillation with single equilibrium stage. The reactive residue

curve map constructed based upon vapor-liquid equilibrium and reaction kinetics. Butyl

acetate and water production from n-butanol and acetic acid was taken as case study.

UNIQUAC model was used to determine the liquid phase activity coefficients while the vapor

phase assumed ideal. The mathematical representation involve many algebraic equations AE

and four complex differential algebraic equations DAEs which solved by using ode15s

command built-in MATLAB program. It was obtained that, the catalyst weight is the main

effective variable on the shape of reactive residue curve map. Also the results from developed

program compared with the published in the literature for the same reaction, showing the

efficiency of the developed program to obtain the residue curve map for any non-ideal system

reactive or non-reactive with any number of components. KEYWORDS: Residue curve map, Reactive, MATLAB, Butyl acetate.

INTRODUCTION Residue curve map (RCM) is a collection of the liquid residue curves in a simple one-stage

batch distillation originating from different initial compositions. The residue curve mapping

technique (RCM) was considered as powerful tool for the flow-sheet development and

preliminary design of conventional multi-component separation processes P

Design of reactive distillation column requires kinetic data in addition to phase equilibria.

The feasibility of reactive distillation column based on residue curve maps (RCM) for non-

reactive stages and on reactive residue curve maps (RRCM) for reactive stages.

n-Butyl acetate is important solvent in the chemical industry. It used in coating and

painting processes, lacquer industry and cosmetic formulations (2, 3, 4). Gangadwala et al. (5)

Figure (1) illustrates the set-up for prediction the residue curve map experimentally. To

construct the RCM experimentally, a liquid mixture is charged to the still pot and the pot is

differentially heated to produce vapor. The vapor in equilibrium with the liquid is removed as

soon as it forms. Because the vapor is always richer in the more volatile components than the

liquid, the liquid composition changes continuously with time, becoming more and more

concentrated in the least volatile species. The composition of liquid in still pot versus time

produces single residue curve map. By starting from different initial compositions, different

residue curves were formed and the plot of these curves is called residue curve map.

By using appropriate thermodynamic model, it is easy to construct the residue curves

theoretically without making any experiments. The residue curve maps are usually generated

theoretically using commercial software’s such as Aspen Plus, DISTIL and ChemSep. All

these software’s is useful only to predict residue curve map for ternary non-reactive systems,

for example ChemSep create residue curve maps for a simple ternary system with constant

relative volatilities.

Due to importance of RCMs and RRCMs to understand the behavior of both conventional

and reactive distillation columns, therefore the main aim of this study is to develop a

computer program to predict reactive or non reactive residue curve maps for quaternary

system and study the effect of catalyst weight on the shape of reactive residue curve map

theoretically.

REACTIVE RESIDUE CURVE MAP Residue curve maps have been extensively studied since 1900. Most of the literatures over

110 years for residue curve maps and distillation boundaries is restricted to three-component

mixtures. The simple RCM was modeled by the set of differential equations P

Considerable attention has been paid over the last 25 years on construction RRCM. Kinetic

controlled RCM may be quite different from nonreactive RCM. Chemical reactions can

influence residue curve maps in some important ways. Reactions can lead to the

disappearance of some azeotropes that exist in the absence of reaction also chemical reactions

can also lead to the creation new azeotropes that would not exist in the absence of reaction.

named Damköhler number to characterize the ratio of reaction rate and escaping flow rate so

(15) used residue curve map to determine distillation boundaries

for four- component non-reactive mixtures that exhibit azeotrop. Bonet-ruiz et al. (16)

in their

study used MATLAB program to provide a set of residue curve maps for TAME at various

values of pressure and Da number governing the industrial operating conditions.

NUMERICAL COMPUTATION The non-reactive residue curve map computed for the system by integrating equation (1)

forward with dimensionless time ξ from different starting positions mean evaporating light

components and end at the maximum boiling temperature azeotrope, also integrating equation

(1) backward in dimensionless time ξ from the same starting positions mean evaporating

heavy components and end at the minimum boiling temperature azeotrope. The driving force

(xRiR - yRiR) is the difference of the liquid phase xRiR and vapor phase yRiR compositions. At the

azeotrope, the driving force is equal to zero, because at azeotrope (xRiR = yRiR).

The reactive residue curve map was computed using the same mathematical procedure

described above for non-reactive system. Equation (2) integrated using fourth order Runge-Kutta integration method. The integration is continuous until a singular point is reached. The

singular points occur when the composition of a pure component is reached or

when ii yx = or 0d/dx =ξ which corresponds to reactive azeotrope.

These curves are computed and plotted using MATLAB program with the aid of built-in

command named ode15s, which used to integrate of the DAEs numerically with the aid of

fourth order Runge-Kutta method. To compute the vapor-liquid equilibrium and since there is

deviation from ideality in the liquid phase, an appropriate expressions of the activity

coefficients was used. Figure (2) represent the flowchart of reactive residue curve map

prediction program.

PLOTTING RESIDUE CURVE MAP The ternary RCM usually represented using ternary diagram consists of a triangular

(preferably equilateral) plot with each vertex representing a pure component. For the systems

consists more than three components such as quaternary system, the graphical representation

of the RCMs becomes more difficult. A simple plot of residue curve maps in a planar

triangular diagram is only useful for a three component mixture. To represent quaternary

systems, it is always possible to plot the data in three-dimensional 3D form (a triangular

pyramid made of equilateral triangles). Unfortunately, reading data in 3D is hard. Several

hypotheses exist, from lumping similar compounds together to following topographical

strategies of representing 2D planar cuts and projections of the pyramid or removing one of

the components and recalculating molar fractions, collapsing the 3D RCM to one of its sides

REACTION KINETICS The esterification of the acetic acid (HAc) with n-butanol (n-BuOH) to produce n-butyl

acetate (n-BuAc) and water (H2O) was taken into consideration. This reversible reaction is

represented by the equation:

(W) BuAc)-(n BuOH)-(n (HAc) H2OCH3COOC4H9C4H9OHCH3COOH H +→←+ +

The heterogeneous reaction kinetics of n-butanol esterification with acetic acid has been

studied by many authors (Liao and Tong (18); Liao and Zhange (19); Janowsky et al. (20); Zheng

and Zeng (21, 22) and Steinigeweg and Gmehling (23)

Reaction kinetics of the n-BuAc synthesis is usually described by second order pseudo-

homogeneous models (Steinigeweg and Gmehling

RESULTS In Figures (3 to 16) the nonreactive and reactive the RCMs were plotted in three-

dimensional plot for butyl acetate system. In these figures the vertices represent the pure

components and any point inside this tetrahedron stands for a composition of a quaternary

mixture.

Figures (3, 4, 5 and 6) show the nonreactive residue curve map for butyl acetate system at

different pressures (1, 2, 3 and 5 atm respectively). From figure (3) it’s clear that, there are

three nodes first is stable node at 100% Butyl acetate, the second is stable node (maximum-

boiling binary azeotrope) at 58.92 % acetic acid 41.08 % n-butanol, and the third is unstable

node (minimum-boiling binary azeotrope) at 26.52 % Butyl acetate 73.48 % water. The stable

node at 100% Butyl acetate appear in all figures due to that, the butyl acetate is the highest

boiling point (126°C) and the acid is the second highest boiling point (118.1°C), followed

closely by n-butanol (117.7°C). Table (5) contains all singular points for non-reactive residue

curve map of the system at 1 atm. The obtained results are in agreement with the result

reported in the references (Löning et al. P

(26)P, Tang et al. P

(27)P).

From Figures (4, 5 and 6) it’s clear that increasing the pressure from 2 to 5 atm lead to

disappear the binary stable azeotrope that appear in 1 atm while new stable node appear at

these pressures at 100% acetic acid.

Figures (7, 8, 9, 10 and 11) shows the reactive residue curve map for butyl acetate system

at 1 atm and variable Damköhler number (0.01, 0.02, 0.03 0.04 and 0.05) respectively. All

these five figures contain four stable nodes at 100 % of each component in the quaternary

system and one unstable node (minimum-boiling) at (0.32 % Acetic acid, 0.45 n-Butanol,

26.05 % butyl acetate, 73.17 % water). All these figures have the same profile but figure (7)

differ from the others by appearing un-stable quaternary azeotrope around (66.78 % Acetic

acid, 29.55 n-Butanol, 3.31 % butyl acetate 0.36 % water). It was observed that increasing

the catalyst weight have a considerable effect on the change of the shape of the reactive

residue curve map. Also, the instability of these curves is result of interaction between the

thermodynamic equilibrium and reaction.

Page 8: Prediction Reactive Residue Curve Map (rRCM) for ... m 2 x.pdfReactions can lead to the disappearance of some azeotropes that exist in the absence of reaction also chemical reactions

Figures (12, 13, 14, 15 and 16) shows the reactive residue curve map for butyl acetate

system at 1 atm pressure and Damköhler number (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 0.4 and 0.5). All these five

figures contain four stable nodes at 100 % of each component and one unstable node at (2.96

% Acetic acid, 4.30 % n-Butanol, 22.03 % butyl acetate, 70.71 % water). It’s clear from

figures (3, 4, 5 and 6) and figures (12, 13, 14, 15 and 16) that further increasing Damköhler

number does not have any significant effect on the RRCM of this quaternary system.

The obtained results are in agreement with the result reported in the references (Löning et

al. P

(26)P, Tang et al. P

(27)P).

CONCLUSION In this research, MATLAB program was developed to predict stable or un-stable

azeotropes for quaternary mixtures and then to predict both reactive and non-reactive residue

curve maps. The following conclusions are concluded.

• It can be observed from all of these figures that at low Damköhler number (Da<0.01) the

reactive residue curve is not too different than non-reactive residue curve. All the residue

curves start at unstable node moving toward the saddle point and end at the stable nodes.

• The shape of the reactive residue curves depends mainly on two essential parameters,

which are the operating pressure and the Damköhler number (Da) in the other word

catalyst weight.

• Residue curve map is a primary tool to design non-ideal distillation columns such as

azeotropic, extractive, reactive and vacuum distillation columns.
