Recovery of dilute acetic acid through esterification in a reactive distillation column

With ever-growing environmental concerns, petrochemical and fine chemical industries face an omnipresent issue in recovering acetic acid from its aqueous solutions. The recovery of acetic acid through the esterification process is a very viable option. However, esterification reactions are typically...
