This paper assesses the suitability of different downstream processing options such as reactive extraction, adsorption, electrodialysis, esterification and reactive distillation. It compares the costs of different process routes. The assessment indicates that the conventional precipitation of calcium lactate, followed by acidification, esterification and hydrolysis will be the most economical route although it generates large quantity of gypsum sludge.

Mass transfer and heat transfer accompanied by chemical reactions were incorporated in a dynamic non-equilibrium multistage model. A base case simulation was identified and established. The base case simulation showed the value of key performance indicator that is mass ratio of acetone consumed to isophorone produced as 1.54. The computational model was then used to understand and to evaluate influence of various key design and operating parameters on this key performance indicator. Influence of reactor volume, mass transfer coefficient and feed composition, location and temperature was evaluated. The simulated results indicate that the key performance indicator can be improved (reduce acetone consumed per isophorone produced) by manipulating acetone content in the feed and location of the feed. The presented results will be useful for realising performance enhancement of isophorone and other similar reactors. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The conventional method of DME production by methanol dehydration is highly energy consuming due to the use of a series of distillation columns. In the present study, an energy efficient reactive distillation configuration is proposed for DME production which leads to higher methanol conversion with less energy requirement as compared to reported configurations. The reactive distillation (RD) and dual reaction zone reactive divided wall column (RDWC) were analyzed using steady state ASPEN simulations. Subsequently, all the design parameters were optimized by sensitivity analysis to minimize the Total Annual Cost (TAC) of the configuration. The results showed that the RD column is more energy efficient than RDWC as it requires 10.68 % less TAC. The proposed RD and dual reaction zone RDWC configurations were found to have less specific energy requirements and less cost per kg of DME than any other configuration reported earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
