Title: ASPEN HYSYS Simulation for oxidation of glycerol to lactic acid using Ag3PMo
Post by: lou-lou57 on July 10, 2021, 06:46:30 PM
Hello. I am a chemical engineer student looking for help on the simulation of oxidation of glycerol to lactic acid using silver-exchanged phosphomolybdic acid catalysts(Ag3PMo).
I found that is a simple process including conversion of glycerol to lactic acid using heater, reactor, and cooler and then the purification of the product. the problem becomes that literature lacks data. I don't know the reactions and the flow rate of oxygen and glycerol.
