Abstract

반응증류 공정은 전형적인 반응공정과 증류공정을 통합하여 증류탑에서 반응과 동시에 분리를 수행하는 공정이다. 반응증류 공정의 가장 큰 장점은 반응전환율의 제약과 공비점으로 인한 제약을 효율적으로 극복할 수 있다는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 에스테르화반응으로 얻어지는 대표적인 물질인 메틸 아세테이트를 합성, 생산하는 연속 반응증류 공정의 상세한 수학적 모델을 구성하여 동적 모사 및 동적 최적화를 수행하였다. 상평형을 가정한 평형단 모델에 반응속도 식을 적용하여 분리와 반응이 함께 일어나는 증류탑과 재비기 및 응축기를 수학적 모델로 구성하여 동적모사를 수행하여 실제 공정이 운전되는 시나리오대로 공정전체를 모사함으로써 공정 개시부터의 공정의 동적 특성을 살펴보았다. 이 동적 모델과 연계되어, 반응증류 공정으로 얻어지는 메틸 아세테이트의 순도를 목적함수로 하는 최적화 문제를 구성하여 그 결과로 최적의 원료주입 분율 및 재비기의 열량 및 환류비 등을 구할 수 있었다. 또한 여기서 얻어진 운전 변수의 값을 변화시킬 때 반응 전환율의 변화를 살펴봄으로써, 최적화 문제의 해로 구해진 운전 변수의 값의 타당성을 증명하였다.
The aim of this study is finding the optimal design parameters and the optimal operation variables of a reactive distillation column. Different from steady state optimization, dynamic optimization makes it possible considering operation ability as well as design problems at process design step. For performing dynamic optimization, dynamic simulation should be done first. If dynamic simulation is already finished, dynamic optimization can be performed with less effort than that of dynamic simulation.Reactive distillation systems involving reaction and separation in a single unit have the potential to reduce capital and operating costs, particularly when reaction have conversion constraint or when azeotropes exist making conventional separation difficult and expensive. This study here present work on the continuous distillation process, the homogeneous catalyzed esterification of methanol and acetic acid, the synthesis of methyl acetate. Based on an equilibrium stage model of a reactive distillation column a dynamic optimization problem was formulated and solved. And the results were verified by performing dynamic simulation and showing the variation of conversion and purity as the variation of the operation variables. As the results of dynamic optimization, this study found optimal feed ratio, reflux ratio and reboiler duty of this system. And as this study applied it to dynamic simulations the dynamic characteristics of a reactive distillation column are showed under optimal operating condition.
