Abstract
A dynamic model for a system containing a semi-batchwise operating reaction vessel connected to a distillation unit was developed. The approach consisted of kinetic equations for the reactions as well as a dynamic model for the distillation unit. As an example reaction, the catalyzed polyesterification of maleic acid with propylene glycol was used. The kinetic and the mass transfer parameters at 170°C were estimated from experimental data. The fit of the model to the data indicated that the approach is suitable for the description of semibatch liquid phase reaction-separation systems.
