Esterification kinetics of acetic acid with methanol was studied with solid acid catalyst in an isothermal batch reactor at 333À353 K. Different types of ion exchange catalyst (Indion 130, Indion 190, and Amberlyst 15 wet) were used for the esterification of acetic acid. It was found that Indion 130 was an effective catalyst for acetic acid esterification. The effects of stirrer speed, reaction temperature, initial reactant concentration, and catalyst loading on reaction rate were investigated and optimized. Temperature dependence of the reaction rates and activation energies was determined by an Arrhenius plot. A complete kinetic equation for describing the reaction catalyzed by Indion 130 was developed. This equation can be used in the simulation and design of the catalytic distillation column for the synthesis of methyl acetate. ' EXPERIMENTAL METHODS Materials.

Journal of Catalysis, 2014
The investigation of laboratory scale continuous reactive distillation process for the esterification reaction of acetic acid with iso amyl alcohol, catalyzed by the ion exchange resin is carried out. To overcome the equilibrium limitations, the products -viz, iso-amyl acetate and water are separated by distillation during the course of reaction. Approximately 3-m-tall column with reactive section packed with commercial catalytic packing (FENIX TM DM PAK), nonreactive section packed with wire mesh packing is designed and operated for this study. Iso-amyl acetate synthesis is examined with experimental runs on reactive distillation to study the behavior of reactive distillation system for various operating parameters such as feed flow, feed locations, reboiler duty, and molar ratio on the conversion and purity of product. Reasonably good agreement between the experimental and simulation results is realized.

Reactive Distillation (RD) is the combination of chemical reaction and distillative product separation in single piece of equipment, offers a number of specific advantages over conventional sequential approach of reaction followed by distillation or other separation techniques. The experimental part includes RD experiments in laboratory scale, carefully evaluated database for describing chemical reaction and phase equilibria. The iso-amyl acetate synthesis is also carried out in a packed bed RD column operated in batch and continuous modes. This paper describes an investigation into experimental and simulation work of the heterogeneous esterification of acetic acid with iso-amyl alcohol, catalyzed by an acidic cation -exchange resin. The effects of the variables such as the reflux ratio, vapour rate and feed flow rate on iso-amyl acetate synthesis are studied experimentally. The simulations are based on the equilibrium-stage model approach. The simulation studies are performed in Aspen Plus and MATLAB. Finally results of sensitivity studies using Aspen plus are presented to show the optimum performance of RD column.

Reactive and Functional Polymers, 2007
Esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols represents well-known liquid-phase reactions of considerable industrial interest due to the importance of organic ester products. These ester products include environmentally friendly solvents, flavors, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, and cosmetics. In this study, the esterification kinetics of acetic acid with isobutanol in 1,4-dioxan as a solvent without adding a catalyst and catalyzed by ion-exchange resins are carried out using a batch reactor. The effect of catalyst type, stirrer speed, the effects of reaction temperature and catalyst loading on the initial reaction rate, the effect of speed of agitation and the conversion of acetic acid versus time were investigated. The kinetics of heterogeneous catalyzed esterification of acetic acid with isobutanol was correlated by a kinetic model based on pseudo-homogeneous catalysis. The strong acidic cation exchange resins were used as solid catalysts, Dowex 50 Wx2, Amberlite IR-120, respectively. As a result, it was found that the weight-based activity of the heterogeneous catalysts increases in the following order: Dowex 50 Wx2 > Amberlite IR-120 and these catalysts were effectively for the synthesis of isobutyl acetate under these experimental conditions.

The reaction kinetics of esterification between n-butanol and acetic acid on acidic solid catalyst named SERALITE SRC-120 under atmospheric pressure was investigated in this work. Reaction experiments were carried out in a stirred batch reactor at temperature range of 353 to 356 K, under various catalyst loads and various starting reactants feed ratios. The experimental data were fitted to estimate the kinetic parameters for reaction mechanisms. The chemical equilibrium composition was measured and kinetic information was obtained at the same temperature range. The results show that the activation energy of n-butanol esterification reaction was found to be 622.28 KJ/mol. Finally the results of produced reaction mechanisms were compared with Experimental results to validate the reaction mechanism. Then it was conclude that the model results with the regressed kinetic parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental results.

The esterification of propionic acid with isopropyl alcohol was studied in an isothermal batch reactor. The activities of three different types of ion exchange resin catalysts (Amberlyst 15, Amberlyst 70 and Dowex 50 WX8) were investigated, and Amberlyst 15 was found to be an effective catalyst for the reaction. The effects of process parameters, namely, catalyst loading, alcohol to acid molar ratio and reaction temperature, were studied and optimized. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the process parameters as well as to investigate the interaction between process parameters. The internal and external diffusion limitations were found to be absent at a stirring speed of 500 rpm. The RSM model predicted response (83.26%) was verified experimentally with a good agreement of experimental value (83.62±0.39%). Moreover, the kinetics was studied and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model was used to fit the kinetic data.

Esterification of acetic acid with methanol to produce methyl acetate in an isothermal stirred batch reactor has been studied. Sulfuric acid was used as a liquid catalyst, and Indion-180, Indion-190 and Amberlyst-16wet ion exchange resins were used as solid catalysts. The feed mole ratio was varied from 1 : 1 to 1 : 4. The reaction temperatures were varied from 305.15 to 333.15 K for sulfuric acid as catalyst and 323.15 to 353.15 K for the solid catalysts. The catalyst concentrations were used in the range of 1% to 5%, for the sulfuric acid catalyst, and 0.01 to 0.05 g/cc, for the solid catalysts. The effect of temperature, catalyst concentration, agitation speed, size of catalyst particle and reactant concentration on the acetic acid conversion was investigated. A second-order kinetic rate equation was proposed to fit the experimental data. For both forward and backward reactions, the activation energies were estimated from Arrhenius plots. The reaction rate increased with catalyst concentration and temperature for both the liquid and solid catalysts. The acetic acid conversion was found to increase with increases in acetic acid to methanol ratio in the feed. The developed kinetic rate equation was used for the simulation of reactive distillation process, in our laboratory column.

The reaction kinetics of the esterification of acetic acid with ethanol, catalyzed both homogeneously by the acetic acid, and heterogeneously by Amberlyst 15, have been investigated. The reactions were carried out at several temperatures between 303.15 and 353.15 K and at various starting reactant compositions. Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions have been described using the models proposed by Pöpken et al. [T. Pöpken, L. Götze, J. Gmehling, Reaction kinetics and chemical equilibrium of homogenously and heterogeneously catalyzed acetic acid esterification with methanol and methyl acetate hydrolysis, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 39 (2000) 2601-2611]. These models use activities instead of mole fractions. Activity coefficients have been calculated using ASOG [K.

This work deals with kinetics and chemical equilibrium studies of esterification reaction of ethanol with acetic acid. The esterification reaction was catalyzed by an acidic ion exchange resin (Amberlyst-15) using a batch stirred tank reactor. The pseudo-homogenous and Eley-Rideal models were successfully fitted with experimental data. At first, Eley-Rideal model was examined for heterogeneous esterification of acetic acid and ethanol. The pseudo-homogenous model was investigated with a power-law model. The apparent reaction order was determined to be (0.88) for Ethanol and (0.92) for acetic acid with a correlation coefficient (R 2) of 0.981 and 0.988, respectively. The reaction order was determined to be 4.1087x10-3 L 0.8 /(mol 0.8 .min) with R 2 of 0.954. The adsorption constants of acetic acid and ethanol were calculated as 0.023 and 0.044 L/mol, respectively and the lumped reaction constant were determined to be 5*10-4 L 2 /gcat.mol.min. The results of the reaction kinetic study show that the high acetic acid/ethanol molar ratio was favored. The maximum conversion of 70 % was obtained at 70°C for acetic acid/ethanol molar ratio of 4.
