Esterification and Transesterification of Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Using Heterogeneous Catalyst in Simulated Moving Bed Reactor(PPT)

摘要

1. SMBR process that has a high potential for commercialization (PMA synthesis) 2. Novel application of transesterification reaction to the SMBR process 3. Screened potential catalysts for the SMBR application 4. Conducted single column experiments and analyzed the influence of temperature and feed concentration. 5. Developed a model for SMBR process and validated it for esterification reaction 6. Future work : Extend the SMBR study to the transesterification reaction 7. Potential for the addition of homogeneous catalyst into the system
