Material Selection for Separating Acrylic Acid from Butyl Acrylate

[strive4jannah]

In my Chemical engineering Course, I have an Engineering Materials assignment, which needs to be submitted by this Monday.

It contains questions based on the mechanical design of a binary distillation column that separates acrylic acid from butyl acrylate.


I'm required to select a material, which would be suitable for the construction of this specific column.

I hope someone can direct me to weblinks for this particular design.



Secondly, I'm required to calculate:

a, the design temperature and pressure of the column according to British/American standards

b, After calculating the wall thickness value, I'm required to compare it with the British/American standards


For these questions, I require access to the relevant British/American standards.

I am looking for the weblinks for the relevant British/American standards.

Can someone also provide a reference for the Data Tables for Corrosion Data of Butyl Acrylate being exposed to Metals

(i.e. Butyl Acrylate: Corrosion Data for Metals )


I was able to find it online for Acrylic Acid but couldn't do so for Butyl Acrylate

Hello dearest,

I find it extremely resourceful of you to find you posting your coursework question here. I'll ask the RA's to search for your profile. Better luck running away.

I am sorry for any misunderstanding; ............ I wish to do the coursework myself.

I was looking for help in locating the relevant British/American standard online and some data tables online.

I thought that there is nothing wrong in seeking assistance in finding standards & data tables online.

If that is considered wrong, I would refrain to do so.

Since the lecturer has raised objection regarding the message posted by me, I sincerely apologize for my mistake.

It was misunderstanding on my part.

I would request the admins to please delete this thread as this message would be against the lecturere's policy.
