ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Ethyl Acetate</b>. Ethyl Acetate is a widely used solvent in the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and inks. Its fast evaporation rate and low toxicity make it an ideal solvent for a range of industrial applications. Ethyl acetate is produced via the esterification of ethanol and acetic acid. It is stored as a liquid and is highly demanded in industries requiring efficient, low-toxicity solvents.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Ethanol</b>. Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid (pure form). It is miscible in all proportions with water, ether, acetone, benzene, and some other organic solvents. Ethanol has been produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates for thousands of years. In the 1930s, low oil prices enabled the production of industrial ethanol through direct and indirect hydration of petroleum-derived ethylene. The rising cost of crude petroleum has prompted research into the industrial manufacture of ethanol from biomass sources. Ethanol from biomass can be produced by the fermentation of starch (from corn), sugar (from sugarcane) or waste lignocellulosic biomass (such as corn stover or switch grass). The process varies depending on the feedstock used. Due to governments’ programs and technology advances, biomass has become the lowest cost raw material for ethanol production. Currently, ethanol is almost exclusively obtained from biomass and has become a renewable-based chemical. Global concerns about sustainability and global warming have inspired research into the use of renewable ethanol for ethylene manufacture, substituting petroleum-derived ethylene.</p> <b>Acetic Acid</b>. Acetic acid (also known as ethanoic acid, hydrogen acetate) is a carboxylic acid found in dilute solutions in plant and animal systems. This chemical is widely used in organic processes, primarily in the production of polymers derived from vinyl acetate, used in paints and coatings, cellulose used to produce acetate fibers, and as solvent. While 2–12 wt% acetic acid solutions, usually called vinegar, have long been produced by ethanol fermentation, nowadays the commercial production of acetic acid is mainly based on methanol carbonylation and liquid-phase oxidation of n-butane.</p> <b>Sulfuric Acid</b>. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) figures among the most widely employed chemicals. It has a number of large-scale essential uses, such as in the production of phosphoric acid (a key fertilizer), as a pickling agent for iron and steel, as a component of lead storage batteries, in water treatment, and in the production of textile fibers, detergents, and in the manufacture of other chemicals.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/012-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Reaction and (2) Purification.</p><p>Reaction. In the process under analysis, the reaction is conducted in two steps. Firstly, the reactants, acetic acid and ethanol, in slight excess, are mixed together in pre-esterification reactors along with sulfuric acid, that is used as a catalyst for the esterification. This first reaction is conducted until equilibrium is reached and then the reactors output is directed to an esterification column. There, two methods are used to shift the reaction equilibrium towards the production of ethyl acetate: water by-product removing and excess ethanol addition. Excess ethanol is added to reaction medium via an upstream recycle stream that is fed to the bottom of the column. Water is continuously removed from the reaction medium through column bottoms while the reactants, and ethyl acetate move upward in the column.</p><p>Purification. The top product from the esterification column still containing a large excess of ethanol is directed to a further distillation step. The top product of this column is a ternary azeotrope of Ethyl Acetate, ethanol and water. To further purify Ethyl Acetate in the ternary azeotrope mixture it is first required to break down the azeotrope. The ternary azeotrope mixture is mixed with water and then settled in a decanter in order to break down the azeotrope. The organic phase recovered from the decanter, more concentrated in Ethyl Acetate, can now be directed to a final distillation step to reach product specification.</p><p></p>
