Unit Operations

Process steps following chemical engineering unit operation principles

#	Operation	Description
1	Reactant Mixing	Mix n-butanol and acetic acid with catalyst
2	Esterification	H₂SO₄ or ion-exchange catalyst at 100-120°C
3	Water Removal	Azeotropic distillation to remove water
4	Neutralization	Wash with NaHCO₃ to remove acid
5	Distillation	Distill to >99% butyl acetate
6	Drying	Remove residual water with molecular sieves
