A novel concept of reactive distillation is examined in this dissertation. The design and construction of a rig to test the novel set-up were executed. The design of the rig was based on residence times selected for the rig's three main sections; the pre-reactor, the column and the reboiler. The rig was designed as a continuous process, provided feed could be supplied constantly even in the case of small scale users. The reactor was designed to perform around a flowrate of 5l/hr. The main aim of the design was to produce biodiesel by using a stoichiometric feed ratio. 2014-12-28T20:14:51Z 2014-12-28T20:14:51Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10460 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
