Synthesis of Ethyl Acetate using Strong Acid Ion Exchange Resin as Catalyst

Ethyl acetate was synthesized with acetic acid and ethanol using strong acidic ion resin as catalyst.The effcet of the kinds of strong acidic ion resin,the quantity of resin,the molar ratio of acetic acid to ethanol,reaction remperature and reaction time on the conversion of acetic acid was investigated.For pronducion to be not separated,the per pass conversion of acetic acid was about 65.53% for 6g D072 strong acidic cation resin as catalyst with the optimal experimental conditions that the molar ratio of acetic acid to ethanol was 1:1,reation time was 100 min and reaction remperature was the boiling point of the mixture liqour.And D072 strong acidic cation resin can be used repeatedly as catalyst.
