本项目旨在结合隔壁塔（DWC）与反应精馏（RD）的优势，形成强化节能的反应精馏隔壁塔（RDWC）并将其应用于乙酸甲酯水解反应过程。研究中，将适用于隔壁塔的简捷设计方法-最小能量峰值法拓展于反应精馏隔壁塔的简捷设计中，以得出反应精馏隔壁塔的结构及操作参数，为其优化设计提供初值；在Aspen Plus平台上建立乙酸甲酯水解的反应精馏隔壁塔严格模型，并与Matlab集成，采用多目标遗传算法对反应精馏隔壁塔进行优化研究，综合分析多个目标，得到最佳的设计与操作参数；同时，在反应精馏隔壁塔实验平台上进行乙酸甲酯水解反应研究，完善其设计模型。项目的成功可为反应精馏隔壁塔的优化设计、工程放大和应用提供理论指导，对降低我国化工行业相关装置能源消耗、减少CO2排放有一定的意义，也可为其他节能型精馏塔的研究提供思路。

The project aims to develop the reactive dividing wall column (RDWC) based on the advantages of the dividing wall column (DWC) and the reactive distillation (RD) technology, which will be applied to the hydrolysis of the methyl acetate. The minimum energy mountain diagram, a shortcut design method of the DWC, will be expanded to the design of RDWC in order to calculate the configuration and the operation parameters, which can be used as the initial value of the optimization. A rigorous model of the methyl acetate hydrolysis is established with Aspen Plus, and optimal parameters will be obtained with the optimization of multi-objective genetic algorithm by integrating the Aspen Plus and Matlab. Then methyl acetate hydrolysis experiments will be performed on a RDWC setup to refine the model. The implementations of the project could lay the foundation for the optimal design and industrial application of RDWC and will be significant to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the chemical industry, also it will be instructive to research on the energy saving distillation technology.
