The apparatus consisted of a jacketed five necked batch reactor A stirrer motor was connected to the batch reactor via middle neck to […]

Optimisation of Heterogeneous Catalysed Esterification Reaction for n-Hexyl Acetate Synthesis part 3

Optimisation of Heterogeneous Catalysed Esterification Reaction for n-Hexyl Acetate Synthesis part 3 EXPERIMENT Materials and Catalysts Acetic acid, n-hexanol and n-hexyl acetate were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich UK. Methanol, n-butanol and acetone were purchased from Fisher Scientific, U.K. These chemicals were used without any further purification. Cation exchange resins, Purolite CT-124, CT-151 and CT-175 were kindly […]

Optimisation of Heterogeneous Catalysed Esterification Reaction for n-Hexyl Acetate Synthesis part 2

Optimisation of Heterogeneous Catalysed Esterification Reaction for n-Hexyl Acetate Synthesis part 2 Introduction continued Blagov et al. (2006) explored the catalysed esterification with n-butanol observing the effect on conversion and selectivity of ester from various catalyst brands. Most notably, at higher catalyst loadings, particularly at 10-15%, they detected the formation of side-products (olefins and ethers). […]

Optimisation of Heterogeneous Catalysed Esterification Reaction for n-Hexyl Acetate Synthesis part 1

Optimisation of Heterogeneous Catalysed Esterification Reaction for n-Hexyl Acetate Synthesis part 1 The kinetics of heterogeneously catalysed esterification reaction of acetic acid and n-hexanol to synthesise n-hexyl acetate were undertaken in a jacketed stirred batch reactor in the presence of ion exchange resins in order to ascertain the optimal conditions required for high yield of […]
