The rectifying section and reactive zone in the first column, and the stripper in the next section, are used in the type-II process known as reactive distillations to create isopropyl acetate (IPAc). When acetic acid is esterified with different alcohols without implementing pure alcohols and acetic acid as reactants, the reactive distillation design and control are affected by this analysis of reactant purity. Given that ethanol at a concentration of 68% generates an isopropanol/water azeotrope, this generates considerable financial benefits. (by lowering the cost of raw materials). The acid's purity is fixed at 95% for industrial-grade acetic acid, 65% for isopropanol and 87% for ethanol. The results indicate that the manufacturing of IPAc through reactive distillation leads in an 8% increase in Total Annual Costs (TAC). After that, it is investigated whenever reactive distillations with azeotrope resources are operable. The alcohol feed composition, feed flow, and acid feed purity are three disturbances that are created in order to compare the effectiveness of one-temperature-one-composition control and dual temperature control. According to the results of the simulation, reactive distillation with azeotropic feeds may be controlled successfully.
