Design of a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor for Acetic Acid Production Using Homogeneous Catalyzed ReactionBy T O Goodhead, Abowei M.F. N., Ukpaka C. P.
Abstract: The carbonylation of methanol to give acetic acid is one of the most important homogeneously catalyzed industrial processes. Detailed work has been carried out by researchers on its kinetic study and attempt to increase the activity of the catalyst. In this work attention is focused on the design of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) for the production of 210, 000 tons per year of acetic acid. At a maximum …

Isothermal CSTR Heat Exchanger Rating Models for Acetic Acid Production using Homogeneous Catalysed ReactionBy T O Goodhead, Abowei M.F.N., Ukpaka C.P.
Abstract: This work deals with the development of design models for heat exchanger rating in homogeneouscatalytic acetic acid production at isothermal condition exploiting the derived continuous stirred tankreactor heat generation per unit volume equations at constant temperature. Coil in tank heatexchanger is invoked for this study resulting to novel design equations which were stochasticallyexamined and found to be capable of simulating the rating performance dimensions as a function ofkinetic parameters. The …
