Abstract
Product rate and grade transitions are two significant operations undertaken by process plants to operate in uncertain environments. Rate transitions, typically dictated by economic considerations, are often implemented in open loop via a throughput manipulator (TPM). The absence of feedback of product rate to manipulate the TPM results in an offset during rate/grade transitions as well as in presence of feed-side disturbances. In this work, we explore use of a simple PI controller based supervisory control layer that guides the plantwide regulatory layer to achieve product rate targets during grade transition or in the presence of feed grade disturbances. While such a layer cannot incorporate optimal operation and constraint handling explicitly as in model predictive control, it obviates the need for advanced process control elements that medium-to-small scale industries can ill-afford. The PI based supervisory-regulatory control structure is illustrated using simulated case studies on a prototypical process for diacetone alcohol production comprising of a reactor followed by two distillation columns and a recycle.

Abstract
Mesityl oxide is standardly used to produce methyl iso butyl ketone but it can be also used to produce other useful compounds. Three catalysts were used for the reaction of the mesityl oxide reduction. They were NiW, NiMo, and CoMo supported on phonolite modified by HCl (metals/Ph-HCl). The fresh catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, BET surface, Hg porosimetry, SEM, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, CO2-TPD. The materials were directly used, previously reduced in H2 or sulfided for the mesityl oxide reduction under H2 atmosphere. The reaction was performed in an autoclave at T = 375 °C, p = 50 bar (H2), and TOS = 1.5 h. The products were analyzed by GC/MS, GC/FID-TCD, ATR. The main products were methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-methyl pentane, and 2-methyl-2-pentene. Sulfided metal catalysts were the most active in the methyl isobutyl ketone, where the NiWSx/Ph-HCl catalyst showed the highest activity. For the non-previously-activated and hydrogen activated catalysts the most active catalyst was the NiMo/Ph-HCl for the production of methyl isobutyl ketone. The catalyst CoMo/Ph-HCl activated in hydrogen was the most active for the production of 2-methyl pentane compared to the other two hydrogen-activated materials.

[PMID: 35546820 PMCID: PMC9085500 DOI: 10.1039/c8ra05965a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2018] [Accepted: 08/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Efficient production of diacetone alcohol (DAA), mesityl oxide (MO) and isophorone (IP) is important for the high value utilization of acetone. For this, a novel process is proposed for the aldol condensation of acetone by refluxing on CaC2, whereby 95% of total selectivity of (DAA, MO and IP) and 85% of acetone conversion are achieved simultaneously under mild conditions (56 °C, 100 kPa). This result is superior to the previously reported ones, which may be ascribed to the extremely high catalytic capacity of CaC2 for the aldol condensation and instant separation of the target products from the catalyst to suppress the unwanted successive condensations. Moreover, the target products may be adjusted by operation conditions. Lower temperature and higher reflux rate favour the production of DAA and MO; MO and IP are favoured otherwise. The present process integrates several functions into one unit, i.e. the basic catalysis of calcium carbide, aldol condensation of acetone, instant distillation separation of the condensates, and the hydrolysis of CaC2 to C2H2, which makes it feasible to coproduce C2H2 and high value derivatives of acetone simultaneously. The refluxing reaction of acetone on CaC2 realizes an efficient coproduction of diacetone alcohol, mesityl oxide, isophorone and C2H2.![]()
