Summary

Summary

After an overview of the fundamentals, limitations, and scope of reactive distillation, this book uses rigorous models for steady-state design and dynamic analysis of different types of reactive distillation columns and quantitatively compares the economics of reactive distillation columns with conventional multi-unit processes. It goes beyond traditional steady-state design that primarily considers the capital investment and energy costs when analyzing the control structure and the dynamic robustness of disturbances, and discusses how to maximize the economic and environmental benefits of reactive distillation technology.

Choice Review

Reactive distillation is an advanced chemical engineering process operation in which chemical reaction and product separation are carried out in the same vessel, as compared with traditional separate reaction and separation operations. It provides the potential for significantly enhanced economical and environmental advantages over the conventional processes. Luyben (Lehigh Univ.) and Yu (National Taiwan Univ.) present a treatment of both steady-state and dynamic control of such systems using nonlinear models as applied to "generic ideal" as well as actual systems, along with an economic comparison between conventional and reactive distillation systems. The 18 chapters are arranged into six parts: "Steady-State Design of Ideal Quarternary System," "Steady-State Design of Other Ideal Systems," "Steady-State Design of Real Chemical Systems," "Control of Ideal Systems," "Control of Real Systems," and "Hybrid and Non-conventional Systems." The appendix is a catalog listing of types of real reactive distillation systems. The authors present substantial quantitative and qualitative information, and illustrate design calculations using commercial simulation software. The work is written in a clear, concise format with liberal illustrations. It will serve as a valuable resource for those needing an introduction to this specialized field and as a design guide for the more experienced practitioner. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above. R. Darby emeritus, Texas A&M University
