Abstract:
The alkylation of 3-methylthiophene(3MT) with isobutene(IB) was selected as a model reaction. The number of independent reactions was determined by chemical stoichiometric matrix. All basic property data of alkylated products was estimated by the group contribution method. The heat of reaction and Gibbs free energy for each independent reaction at different temperatures were calculated by UNIQUAC equation. The effects of temperature, pressure and feed composition on conversion of 3MT, formation amount of IB dimer and distribution of alkylation products were analyzed by Aspen Plus software simulation. The thermodynamics analysis results revealed that conversion of 3MT can reach a high level at the certain range of temperature, pressure and feed composition. Under conditions of initial mass fraction of 3MT 1.0%(based on feed total mass), 2 MPa, and 273-453 K, conversion of 3MT was above 99%. High temperature, low pressure and high 3MT concentration can inhibit IB dipolymerization.
