Reactive Extraction For Downstream Separation Of 1,3-Propanediol, Janusz J. Malinowski Jan 2000

Reactive Extraction For Downstream Separation Of 1,3-Propanediol, Janusz J. Malinowski

Janusz J. Malinowski

The downstream separation of 1,3-propanediol from dilute aqueous solution was studied. A process combining reversible reaction of 1,3-propanediol with acetaldehyde to 2-methyl-1,3-dioxane and a simultaneous extraction of the product by organic solvent appears to be technically feasible and attractive. The dioxane yield was 91-92%, the overall conversion of 1,3-propanediol was ca. 98%, and recovery of dioxane into the organic extractant was 75%.

Mathematical Simulations Of Reactors For Catalytic Conversion Of Methane To Syngas With Forced Concentration Cycling, Krzysztof Gosiewski Jan 2000

Mathematical Simulations Of Reactors For Catalytic Conversion Of Methane To Syngas With Forced Concentration Cycling, Krzysztof Gosiewski

Krzysztof Gosiewski

In this paper simulation results are presented concerning the partial catalytic oxidation of methane (PCOM) in a reactor with forced composition cycling and packed with a pelletized Pt/MgO catalyst. The reactor operates in two cycles, namely, the ‘hot’ cycle, H, during which mainly the reactants of the strongly exothermal complete combustion reaction (CH4 and O2) are supplied, and the ‘cold’cycle , C, in which mainly the components of the endothermal reforming reactions are introduced (CH4 and H2O or, optionally CO2). The simulations are supplemented with a thermodynamic analysis of the conditions of permanent carbon deposits forming in such a reactor. …
