Abstract: Sago composite membrane possesses a microporous polysulfone substrate were prepared and tested for dehydration of ethyl acetate/water mixture. Sago composite membrane has been cross-linked successfully by glutaraldehyde. The membranes were characterized by Degree of swelling (DS) and scanning electron micrographs (SEM). Pervaporation of ethyl acetate –water mixture was conducted over a range of water concentration (1-4wt %) in feed solution at varied temperature from 30°C to 60°C. Keywords Sago starch: Pervaporation; Ethyl acetate; Polyvinyl alcohol; Composite Membrane;

Abstract: In order to research the possibility of separating the azeotrope of ethyl acetate + acetonitrile with ionic liquid as the extractant. Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibria for the ternary system ethyl acetate + acetonitrile + 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([OMIBF₄) were measured at 101.32 kPa using a recirculation still. The results showed that the VLE of the ternary system was different from that of the binary system. The ionic liquid (IL) studied showed a slight crossover salt effect, which changed the relative volatility of ethyl acetate to acetonitrile and eliminated the azeotropic point when the mole fraction of IL in the liquid phase was greater than 0.05. Therefore, [OMIBF₄ can be used as the extractant of extractive distillation for ethyl acetate + acetonitrile system, the suitable mole fraction of [OMIBF₄ is about 10%.

Abstract: Manganese and cerium based catalysts with different Mn/Ce molar ratios prepared by impregnation method for ethyl acetate oxidation. The activity tests of the samples were performed in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and ethyl acetate concentration on the catalytic activity of the catalyst were also investigated. The results showed that these catalysts had high activity for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate, of which the catalyst Mn_0.9Ce_0.1O_x/TiO₂ exhibited the best activity, and the temperature required for 90% conversion of ethyl acetate was at 216 °C. The catalyst Mn_0.9Ce_0.1O_x/TiO₂ still maintained high activity in the range of GHSV (16,500 to 48,500 h^-1) and ethyl acetate concentration (4526 to 7092 mg/m³). In additional, experiments for measuring stability of Mn_0.9Ce_0.1O_x/TiO₂ were carried out, and experimental results showed that the good stability of Mn_0.9Ce_0.1O_x/TiO₂ was kept after it has run for 25 hours.

Abstract: Abstract: In order to study the possibility of separating ethyl acetate and isopropanol by extractive distillation with ILs as an entrainer. Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium data for ethyl acetate + isopropanol+1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([OMIM]BF4) ternary system at 101.32 kPa were determined using a recirculating still. The results showed that the ionic liquid (IL) studied produced a notable salting-out effect, which enhanced the relative volatility of ethyl acetate to isopropanol and eliminated the azeotrope when the mole fraction of IL in the liquid phase was greater than 0.10. Therefore, [OMIM]BF4 can be used as the extraction agent of extractive distillation for ethyl acetate + isopropanol systerm, the suitable mole fraction of [OMIM]BF4 is about 20%. The experimental data were correlated with the NRTL model, the correlated results agreed well with the experimental data.

Abstract: The catalytic synthesis of ethyl acetate from ethanol and acetic acid using Ti2SnC in liquid phase under the atmospheric pressure was studied. The influences of some factors such as catalyst usage, initial reactant molar ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time on acetic acid conversion rate of this reaction system were investigated. The acetic acid conversion rate of 88.12% is achieved while the molar ratio of alcohol and acid is 1:3.6, the amount of catalyst is 0.2000 g, the reaction temperature is 80 °C and the reaction time is 30min. The catalyst Ti2SnC is the ideal catalyst for synthesis of ethyl acetate for good catalytic performance, non-corrosive to equipment, easily separated from product and used repeatedly.

Abstract: The azeotropic mixture ethyl acetate-ethanol (EA-EtOH) enables effective separation by extractive distillation. The effectiveness of an extractive distillation process depends on the solvent selection, so the single and mixed solvent for separating ethyl acetate-ethanol by extractive distillation were examined. The results showed that the volatility of the ethyl acetate relative to ethanol increased with an increase of the ratio of any given solvent. The selectivity of the mixed solvent is superior to the single solvent. The measured data were correlated well using modified UNIFAC model. Simultaneously, the influence of temperature on solvent selectivity was proposed by using the Clausius-Mosotti equation.

Abstract: Ethyl acetate was synthesized by catalytic distillation using packing solid super acid catalyst of SO₄^2-/Al₂O₃ made by oneself. The effects of process parameters such as the ratio between acetic acid and ethanol, the feed flow rate of ethanol and reflux ratio on catalytic distillation were observed. The best operation parameters were determined. It was beneficial for synthesis of ethyl acetate when n(acetic acid)/n(ethanol) was 1/3, the feed flow rate of ethanol was 3mol/l and reflux ratio was 2.

Abstract: Ethyl acetate was synthesized using inorganic salt as catalyst. The catalytic syntheses of Ethyl Acetate using NaHS04, Sncl2 and Fecl3 as catalysts were introduced. It showed that Sncl₂ was excellent catalysts for synthesis Ethyl Acetate with higher yields and the catalyst can be reused, and the reaction does not cause pollution.

Abstract: Vapor-liquid equilibrium data of hexamethyl disiloxane + ethyl acetate system at 101.3kPa were measured by using double circulating vapor-liquid equilibrium still. The thermodynamic consistency of the VLE data was examined by Herrington method. Experimental data was correlated by NRTL and UNIQUAC parameter models. Both of the models satisfactorily correlated with the VLE data. The result showed that the NRTL model was the most suitable one to represent experimental data satisfactorily and the system had a minimum temperature azeotrope at 350.31 K and the mole azeotropic composition was 0.0330.
