摘要
A novel process flow sheet has been developed for the application of catalytic distillation technology to the production of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) by hydration of propylene. Operation of the catalytic distillation column has been simulated using an equilibrium-stage model for the distillation sections and an equilibrium-reaction model for the catalytic sections. High-purity IPA (99.9 mol%) is produced as a liquid product stream from a catalytic distillation column having dual catalyst beds, operating at a pressure of 2 MPa.
