A summary of basic characteristics for n-Pentyl Acetate production in a reactive distillation column is achieved. Computer simulation was performed to study the process and to evaluate operational alternatives. Results show that the reactive system exhibits reactive azeotropy phenomena, as is displayed in the residue curves maps illustrated here. The proposed process resulted technically viable for n-Pentyl Acetate fabrication as the principal bottom’s product of a reactive distillation column.

En el presente trabajo, se resumen las características básicas para la producción de acetato de n-pentilo en una columna de destilación reactiva se llevó a cabo una simulación para estudiar el proceso y evaluar alternativas de operación los resultados muestran que el sistema reactivo exhibe un fenómeno de isotropía reactiva, como se ilustra en los mapas de curvas residuales construidos en el presente trabajo. También se muestra, en primera instancia, que el proceso resulta técnicamente viable para la producción del éster de interés como producto principal de fondos de la columna de destilación reactiva.
