Material Selection for Separating Acrylic Acid from Butyl Acrylate

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the selection of materials for constructing a binary distillation column designed to separate acrylic acid from butyl acrylate. The user seeks guidance on relevant British and American standards for design temperature, pressure calculations, and wall thickness comparisons. Additionally, they request access to corrosion data tables specific to butyl acrylate and metals. The conversation highlights the importance of adhering to established engineering standards and the need for reliable data sources in chemical engineering assignments.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of binary distillation column design
  • Familiarity with British and American engineering standards
  • Knowledge of material selection criteria for chemical processes
  • Basic principles of corrosion data analysis for chemicals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research British Standards (BS) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for distillation column design
  • Explore material compatibility charts for butyl acrylate and various metals
  • Learn about the calculation methods for wall thickness in pressure vessels
  • Investigate corrosion resistance data for butyl acrylate in chemical engineering applications
USEFUL FOR

Chemical engineering students, materials engineers, and professionals involved in the design and construction of distillation columns and chemical processing equipment.

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.
