Kinetics of catalytic synthesis of acetate acid with methanol over strong acidic resin

Kinetics of catalytic synthesis of acetate acid with methyl alcohol over Amberlyst-15 was carried out in a stirred tank reactor.The stirring speed,reaction temperature,amount of catalysts and other influencing factors were carefully investigated.The results showed that the esterification reaction rate was accelerated with increasing reaction temperature,but the reaction equilibrium constant decreases;the reaction rate constant was proportional to the amount of catalyst in these experiments.The kinetic parameters of the esterification reaction were analysis and calculated,and the kinetic equation was established.
