Abstract
In our previous paper (Chem. Eng. Process., 102 (2016) 27), a comprehensive theoretical study of membrane reactors for isoamyl acetate synthesis was presented. Here, as an extension of that work, the performance of a batch pervaporation membrane reactor was experimentally verified. In order to size up the prototype and to define its operational conditions, experimentally validated models (v.g., thermodynamic, kinetic, and membrane transport ones) were used. The obtained results confirmed the reactive-pervaporation phenomenon. The shift of reaction equilibrium towards products formation, due to the simultaneous separation of water, was established. The proposed mathematical models predicted properly the obtained experimental data.
