Integration of an acid recovery system in the manufacturing of cellulose esters may include heat recovery from a carboxylic acid recovery distillation column by solvent extracting a weak acid stream to form a first overhead stream and a first bottoms stream; distilling the first overhead stream in a distillation column to form a second overhead stream and a second bottoms stream; sending at least a portion of the second overhead stream to a heat exchanger via a process inlet; sending a boiler feed water make up stream to the heat exchanger via a water inlet; and cooling the at least a portion of the second overhead stream in the heat exchanger, such that the at least a portion of second overhead stream exits the heat exchanger via a process outlet and the boiler feed water make up stream exits the heat exchanger via a water outlet. |
