Esterification Reaction Kinetics Using Ion Exchange Resin Catalyst by Pseudo-Homogenous and Eley-Ridel Models

Kinetics of Esterification of Ethylene Glycol with Acetic Acid Using Cation Exchange Resin Catalyst

The esterification of ethylene glycol with acetic acid was investigated in a batch reactor in presence of a strongly acidic cation exchange resin, seralite SRC-120, as catalyst in the temperature range of 333 to 363 K. The detailed kinetic study was performed to understand the effect of various process variables such as catalyst loading, ethylene glycol to acetic acid mole ratio, and temperatur...

Kinetics of the Esterification Reaction between Pentanoic Acid and Methanol Catalyzed by Noncorrosive Cation Exchange Resin

The extensive demand for cleaner environment is forcing the chemical industry to use less hazardous materials. In this regard, solid catalysts have lately attracted the attention of scientists and researchers around the world.1–8 By using sufficient amounts of these heterogeneous catalysts, their catalytic activity for ester formation can be equivalent to that of conventional homogeneous cataly...

Synthesis of neopentyl glycol and ethylene glycol esters by fatty acids in the presence of acidic ion exchange resin catalyst

A most effective and less energy demanding method of producing fatty esters, diol esters, by esterifying fatty acids, with neopentyl and ethylenglycol alcohols in the presence of an acidic ion exchange resin catalyst(polyestyrendivinylbenzensulfated) was investigated at elevated temperature. In this process an azeotroping agent, toluene, was used to facilitate continuous removal of water by dis...

Biodiesel Production of Capparis Spinosa Oil via Trans-Esterification Reaction by Using NaOH Catalyst and Its Pilot Synthesis Design

Energy obtained from renewable sources has increased its participation in the energy matrix worldwide, and it is expected to maintain this tendency. Both in large and small scales, there have been numerous developments and research with the aim of generating fuels and energy using different raw materials such as alternative crops, algae and waste cooking oil. Capparis spinosa seed (containing 3...

Generation of High Order Harmonics from H2+ Molecule Ion by Using Homogenous and Inhomogeneous Laser Fields

We solved one dimensional Schrodinger equation in a H2+ molecular environment by using 3 femtosecond homogeneous and nonhomogeneous laser fields. In homogeneous case, we found out that larger inter nuclear distances result in earlier ionization and also more instability in the wave packet. We deducted that the more the instability is, the more modulated the power spectrum will be. So, by choosi...
