Abstract
The liquid phase synthesis of octane-enhancing ethers is increasingly realized as a reactive distillation process, catalysed by ion exchange resins. To study the physical and chemical phenomena occurring in these systems, the present paper considers a reactive batch distillation process in a heated still. Because of its increasing technical importance, the synthesis of ETBE (ethyl tertiary butyl ether) from ethanol and isobutene is investigated as an example.
