Abstract

The process of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (a diesel additive) production in a laboratory unit with a centrifugal mass transfer apparatus is studied. The 2-ethylhexyl nitrate yield is influenced primarily by the length of coil heat exchanger channel, nitrator rotor speed, and nitromixture (HNO3 + H2SO4 + H2O) temperature. A regression equation is proposed for determining 2-ethylhexyl nitrate yield as a function of treatment parameters. The optimum process conditions for getting maximum primary product yield are determined by reduced gradient method.
