Synthesis of n-Butyl Acetate Catalyzed by Ferric postasassium Sulfate

Based on the composition of n-butyl acetate by using Ferric postasassium sulfate as catalyst,acetate and n-butyl as raw materials,the optimum conditions were determined.The results showed∶n(acetate) ∶n(n-butyl)=1∶1.2,the quantity of catalyst is 4%(percent of total quantity of acetate and n-butyl),the reaction time is 4 h,the esterification effect is 95.80%,all is based on 0.1 mol acetate.
