Tetraetoxisilano (TEOS)
In this work, the reactive distillation (RD) is suggested to produce TEOS as an intensified technology. In general, the concept of process intensification may overcome the traditional process, since it allows design technology with reduction on equipment size, improvement in energy and mass transfer, and reduction in capital cost. Therefore, this work will approach TEOS production by means of two systems, the conventional reaction including the product separation (reaction/separation) and a reactive distillation. In order to evaluate both ways to produce TEOS, the two systems were evaluated considering the total annual cost (TAC) and return of investment (ROI) as economic indexes and the Eco-indicator 99 as an environmental index. As a result, the reactive distillation shows better performance as concern to TAC values; however, when purities above 99.5% wt are obtained, the reaction/separation system overcomes the RD as concern to ROI values. Moreover, when the environmental impact is measured, the RD showed a bigger impact near 30% in comparison with the reaction/separation system.
