Tributyl citrate production via reactive distillation: Model
Reconciliation of a computer model for the production of tributyl citrate (TBC) via reactive distillation (RD) was carried out, using pilot plan data. It was observed that the main parameters affecting the agreement of the model with the experimental observations were the heat loss, catalyst effectiveness, Murphree efficiency and liquid hold-up.
Tributyl Citrate (TBC) – Mamta Polycoats
Tributyl Citrate (TBC) is an excellent replacement for phthalates and adipates as it has a matching plasticiser performance. It is commonly used in cosmetics, food contact films, and articles of plastic, and it is a fast-fusing plasticiser for technical applications.
Tributyl Citrate Production via Reactive Distillation
This work describes the conceptual design and a pilot scale validation of a reactive distillation column for tributyl citrate (TBC) production by esterification of citric acid (CA) with n-Butanol
Synthesis of tributyl citrate using acid ionic liquid as
Synthesis of tributyl citrate (TBC) has been studied by using acid functionalized ionic liquid as catalyst. The results indicated that acidic ionic liquids show good catalytic and reusable performance. Under the optimum conditions, using 1-methyl-3- (3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate as catalyst, the conversion of citric acid was 97%.

could affect toxicity. Triethyl citrate is structurally very similar to TBC, but Finkelstein and Gold (1959) found that the toxicity of triethyl citrate, while still low, was substantially higher than that of TBC (triethyl citrate LD 50 about 7 mL/kg, vs. >30 mL/kg for TBC; see Section 5). This higher
