Abstract
The esterification reaction between acetic acid and ethanol was studied in a continuous flow pervaporation membrane reactor utilizing a polymeric/ceramic composite membrane. For a range of experimental conditions reactor conversions were observed which are higher than the corresponding calculated equilibrium values. This is due to the ability of the membrane to remove water, a product of the reaction. A theoretical model has been developed which gives a reasonable fit of the experimental results.
