  • Can tributyl citrate replace phthalate plasticizers?
  • Tributyl citrate has been identified as a functional alternative for phthalate plasticizers, however there are still challenges regarding the industrial production in a semi-batch process, mainly associated with large excess of reactants, high energy and processing costs.
  • Can tributyl citrate be produced by esterification of citric acid with n-butanol (BuOH?
  • This work describes the conceptual design and a pilot-scale validation of a reactive distillation column for tributyl citrate (TBC) production by esterification of citric acid (CA) with n -butanol (BuOH). The conceptual design was carried out using novel reactive residue curve maps for mixtures of six components.
  • What is tributyl citrate production process?
  • However, the current tributyl citrate production process, which consists in the esterification of citric acid with butanol, requires large excess of alcohol and long batch times in order to overcome the equilibrium limitations and achieve the desirable yield.
  • Can a dynamic model represent the tributyl citrate industrial production process?
  • A dynamic model for the tributyl citrate industrial production process was developed, implemented and compared with respect to industrial data within gPROMS®. The results showed that the model was able to represent adequately the industrial operation.
  • What is the model reconciliation of a reactive distillation process for tributyl citrate?
  • This work describes a model reconciliation of a reactive distillation (RD) process for the production of tributyl citrate based upon pilot scale experimental data. Steady state modeling of the process was constructed using previously validated thermodynamics and reaction kinetics that included catalytic and self-catalytic contributions.
  • What is a reactive distillation model for tributyl citrate (TBC) production?
  • Reconciliation of a reactive distillation (RD) model for tributyl citrate (TBC) production. A RD Industrial process for TBC production is designed and optimized. Homogeneous and heterogenous catalysts are assessed. Comparison with current industrial technology is presented. Economic and sustainability indicators are presented.
