In a reactive distillation column, both the chemical conversion and the distillative separation of the product mixture are carried out simultaneously. Through this integrative strategy, chemical equilibrium limitations can be overcome, higher selectivities can be achieved and heat of reaction can be directly used for distillation. Increased process efficiency and reduction of investments and operational costs are the direct results of this approach.

Highly renowned international experts from both industry and academia review the state-of-the-art and the future directions in application, design, analysis and control of Reactive Distillation processes. Part I surveys various industrial applications and covers both established large scale processes as well as new chemical reaction schemes with high future potential. Part II provides the vital details for analysis of reactive phase equilibria, and discusses the importance of chemical reaction kinetics, while Part III focuses on identifying feasible column configurations and designing their internal structure. Analysis and control of the complex dynamic and steady-state behavior of reactive distillation processes are described in Part IV.

Reactive Distillation - a very promising alternative to conventional reaction-distillation flow schemes.

Aus Rezensionen zum Projektvorschlag:
..." Die Autorenschaft ist eindrucksvoll. Die meisten der Autoren sind hvchst angesehene Akademiker oder Angehvrige der Industrie ... vermutlich die besten, die ich jemals auf diesem Gebiet angetroffen habe..."
(University of Amherst, Massachussetts, USA)
..." Es existiert eine grosse Nachfrage an Fachwissen ]ber Reaktivdestillation. Das vorgeschlagene Buch deckt die wichtigsten Aspekte ab, die niemals zuvor in so in sich geschlossener Form gesammelt und prdsentiert wurden. F]r Designer and Industrieangehvrige wird das Buch sehr wertvoll sein, man wird es aber auch in der Lehre nutzen kvnnen.
Die Autoren sind sehr qualifiziert..."
