A novel two-way coupling multi-scale model was proposed to investigate the catalytic distillation process. In the model, a microscopic model that focuses on the reactive performance of structure catalytic packing was used to calculate actual rate for catalytic distillation process, which is the basic parameter for process simulation. Furthermore, the traditional process simulation was used to provide proper boundary conditions for microscopic model. In order to validate the multi-scale model, heterogeneously catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl acetate was employed as a test system. The simulated final conversions of methyl acetate and catalyst layer efficiency factors were in good agreement with experimental results. The results indicated that as the equivalent diameter of catalyst layer decreases from 25.4 mm to 8.1 mm, the catalyst layer efficiency factor rises to 200% approximately. This study could provide a theoretical guide for the optimization of catalytic packing structure.
