Catalytic Distillation

With ever-growing environmental concerns, petrochemical and fine chemical industries face an omnipresent issue in recovering dilute acetic acid from its aqueous solutions. Catalytic distillation holds an ascendancy over conventional physical separation methods such as distillation and extraction. Distillation is associated with the high costs involved in vaporising the more volatile water that exists in high proportions and possesses a high latent heat of vaporisation. Extraction is limited in view of the distribution of the components in the reacting system. The implementation of catalytic distillation reduces capital and operating costs, and allows for a wider range of operating conditions. Catalytic distillation is receiving increasing attention and holds a huge potential for the recovery of acetic acid. Through the application of catalytic distillation via the reaction of acetic acid with iso-amyl alcohol, a useful ester in the form of iso-amyl acetate could be produced.In the present work towards further process development, the synthesis of iso-amyl acetate via reactive distillation is studied using Katamax® catalyst packing in the catalytic reactive section. The reactive distillation experiments were carried out at laboratory scale in a 50 mm diameter column with a catalytic packing section of 1 m and non-reactive packed enriching and stripping sections of about 1 m each. A cation exchange resin catalyst, Purolite® CT-175, was used. The experiments were conducted with the aim of achieving an optimum column configuration as well as process conditions for the synthesis of iso-amyl acetate in a reactive distillation column (RDC). Several variants of the RDC set-up e.g. total feed mole ratio, reflux ratio, location of feed points, reflux configuration and acid concentrations were explored for the recovery of dilute acetic acid and to achieve a high purity value added product, iso-amyl acetate.

Particulate Contaminants

All serious electron microscopists at one time or another have been concerned with the cleanliness and freedom from artifacts of thin film specimen support substrates. This is particularly important where there are relatively few particles of a sample to be found for study, as in the case of micrometeorite collections. For the deposition of such celestial garbage through the use of balloons, rockets, and aircraft, the thin film substrates must have not only all the attributes necessary for use in the electron microscope, but also be able to withstand rather wide temperature variations at high altitude, vibration and shock inherent in the collection vehicle's operation and occasionally an unscheduled violent landing.Nitrocellulose has been selected as a film forming material that meets these requirements yet lends itself to a relatively simple clean-up procedure to remove particulate contaminants. A 1% nitrocellulose solution is prepared by dissolving “Parlodion” in redistilled amyl acetate from which all moisture has been removed.

Important Practical Application

This article describes the proposed approaches to creating distributed models that can, with given accuracy under given restrictions, replace classical physical models for construction objects. The ability to implement the proposed approaches is a consequence of the cyber-physical integration of building systems. The principles of forming the data structure of designed objects and distributed models, which make it possible to uniquely identify the elements and increase the level of detail of such a model, are presented. The data structure diagram of distributed modeling includes, among other things, the level of formation and transmission of signals about physical processes inside cyber-physical building systems. An enlarged algorithm for creating the structure of the distributed model which describes the process of developing a data structure, formalizing requirements for the parameters of a design object and its operating modes (including normal operating conditions and extreme conditions, including natural disasters) and selecting objects for a complete group that provides distributed modeling is presented. The article formulates the main approaches to the implementation of an important practical application of the cyber-physical integration of building systems - the possibility of forming distributed physical models of designed construction objects and the directions of further research are outlined.
