Determination of critical conditions for the esterification of acetic acid with ethanol in the presence of carbon dioxide
2006
Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering
In this work, we present the calculation of critical coordinates for the esterification of acetic acid with ethanol in compressed carbon dioxide. Determination of the critical pressure for this system is useful, since the conversion of this reaction increases with pressure in the two-phase region, reaching a maximum at the critical point. We used a calculation framework based on a coordinate transformation for molar fractions, producing a new compositional domain. For a system with five
