Vazquez-Castillo, J. A. published the artcileHeat-integrated reactive distillation processes to produce ethyl levulinate: design and optimization including environmental, safety and economics aspects, SDS of cas: 539-88-8, the main research area is ethyl levulinate heat reactive distillation thermal coupling.
This study provides optimally designed reactive distillation (RD) processes for the production of Et levulinate, taking into account costs, environmental impact and safety. The thermally coupled RD process is the most appealing with major energy savings in the range of 9.6-54.3% lower than other RD processes, reduced environmental impact in the range of 5.7-51% lower ECO 99 index value and similar process safety less than 2% difference compared to other RD processes considered. The lower energy requirement ofthe thermally coupled process was reflected in the lowest energy use to produce Et levulinate (1.667 GJ/ton.).
Computer-Aided Chemical Engineering published new progress about Distillation. 539-88-8 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, and the molecular formula is C7H12O3, SDS of cas: 539-88-8.
