Esterification of Propylene Glycol Mono Methyl Ether (PGME) to Propylene Glycol Mono Methyl Ether Acetate
(PGMEA) (This work is done under the supervision of Dr Gautham B Jegadeesan, SCBT, SASTRA Deemed University.
Abstract
Esterification reaction is carried out in a batch reactor equipped with a condenser. Preliminary experiments were carried out by using water as a carrier. At mol ratio 1:1 of (PGME/AA) carried out at specific time periods by varying the temperature from 333K to 373K. Two catalysts such as sulphuric acid and P-toluene sulfonic acid were used respectively. The final conversion was calculated. In this case the water is one of the products occurred in the reaction thereby suppressing the reaction. An entrainer helps in the efficient removal of one of the products namely water in the case of esterification reaction, thereby shifting the reaction equilibrium in the forward direction. Alternate for the water as carrier is necessary to proceed the reaction in the forward so toluene is replaced by water as carrier. In this study the catalyst loading was varied from 1wt% to 7wt% also the mol ratio of alcohol to acid was varied from 1:1,1:2,2:1,3:1,5:1 respectively. This study was performed at temperature varying from 297K to 373K. The effect of these reaction parameters were studied individually in both carrier and compared with each other thus the final conversion was calculated. The aliquots of sample were withdrawn at definite intervals. The analysis was carried out by titration method using 0.05N NaOH with phenolphthalein as indicator. B. Tech in Chemical Engineering
Dissertation
Manufacture of Benzene, Toluene, Xylene (BTX Aromatics) by catalytic reforming of naphtha (This work is done under the supervision of Mrs. J.Nandhini-Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical engineering, AAMEC. Abstract
Catalytic reforming basically a conversion process of naphthenes to aromatics was originally developed to produced high octane gasoline for better engine performance. Subsequently with the increase in demand of aromatics especially benzene and p-xylene this process has been installed in plants. Naphtha feed enter a reactor. The catalyst used for the reaction is Platinum. In order to extract aromatics from non-aromatics compounds various solvents such as diethyl glycol, Tetraethylene glycol, sulfolane used in solvent extraction process. These solvents have high boiling points to make latter fractionation of individual products easier. Fractionation is used to separate and recover the solvent which is then returned to the process. Individual compounds like benzene, toluene and o-xylene can be isolated by distillation process. The compounds meta and para xylene cannot be separated by distillation techniques due to their very close boiling points, these compounds can be separated by crystallization due to their wide differences in their melting points and Adsorption of para xylene in a suitable adsorbent.
