What are esters?
ReactionsCarboxylic Acid + Alcohol Ester + Water
R O C R’O
CH3COOH + CH3(CH2)3OH CH3COO(CH2)3CH3 + H2O

Equilibrium Limited
Catalysts• Typically acid catalyzed• Homogeneous (sulfuric acid)• Heterogenous (amberlyst resins)
Ester Keq (@ 363 K)
Equimolar Equilibrium Conversion
Methyl Acetate 16.8 80%
Ethyl Acetate 3.5 65%
Isopropyl Acetate 8.7 75%
Butyl Acetate 10.9 77%
Pentyl Acetate 1.6 56%

Nonideal liquids• This is a chemical system rather than a
hydrocarbon or petrochemical one Significant liquid phase noidealities
can exist• Azeotropes• Liquid-Liquid Behavior

Vapor Phase Association• In the vapor phase carboxylic acids can
form weakly bound dimers & trimers• This has an impact on vapor phase density,
fugacity, and enthalpy

Chemistry Issues• Equlibrium limited• Solid or homogenous catalyst
Thermodynamic Issues• Azeotropes• Liquid-Liquid Equilibria

Reaction Section CSTR(s) PFR Feed ratios (which RM is easier
to recover?) Catalyst introduction & recovery
Separation Section How can raw materials be
recovered? Can LLE be exploited?
(extractors/decanters/reflux decanters)
What sequence should the separation be done?
