Abstract
The deactivating effect of acetonitrile (ACN) and monomethylamine (MMA) on ion-exchange resins Amberlyst™ 35 WET and Amberlyst™ 15 WET in the ETBE synthesis at different temperatures and poison concentrations has been studied. Deactivation is enhanced at high temperature and high poison concentration. MMA presents a higher deactivating effect than ACN. Amberlyst™ 35 WET is more active, and presents a higher resistance to deactivation than Amberlyst™ 15 WET. At integral regime, a stochiometric ratio of the fed poison and the active centers has been determined. At differential regime, two different periods have been observed as deactivation progresses, and an empirical expression of the exponential activity decay for Amberlyst™ 35 WET is proposed.
Acetonitrile and monomethylamine deactivate ion-exchange resins AmberlystTM 35 WET and AmberlystTM 15 WET in the ETBE synthesis process, with MMA showing a higher deactivating effect than ACN.
