Abstract

A system for separating products from reactants within a reactive distillation column is revealed. Reaction products heavier than reactants are discouraged to re-enter the reaction zone by a rectifying section in between the reaction zone and the stripping section. Reaction products lighter than reactants are discouraged to re-enter the reaction zone by a stripping section in between the reaction zone and the rectifying section.
