The development of a reactive distillation process for the production of n-butyl acetate by transesterification of methyl acetate with n-butanol is presented. Thermodynamic aspects of the quaternary system n-butyl acetate – n-butanol – methyl acetate – methanol are discussed and UNIQUAC interaction parameters derived using the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB) are given. The reaction kinetics of the het...

The esterification reaction between acetic acid and butanol was investigated in a reactive distillation column. The thermodynamic aspects of considered system are discussed, equilibrium constant, vapor pressures and UNIQUAC interaction parameters were investigated. Reactive distillation experiments were carried out to provide high purity butyl acetate. For this purpose, a 2 m column with nonrea...

In this study, synthesis of insoluble polymeric ligand (L) and its transition metal complexes [Cu(L)Cl2]·2H2O (1), [Co(L)Cl2(H2O)2] (2) and [Ni(L)Cl2(H2O)2] (3), having the azomethine groups, were synthesized by the condensation reactions of the diamines and dialdehydes. The structural properties were characterized by the analytical and spectroscopic methods using by elemental analysis, Fourier...

Non-naturally branched polysaccharides were prepared homogeneously by reaction of cellulose in N,N-dimethyl acetamide/LiCl and the ionic liquid 1-N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride with 2,3,4,6-tetraacetyl-1-bromo-α-D-glucopyranoside in the presence of triethylamine as base. Degrees of substitution up to 0.58 were realized. The samples were soluble in dimethyl sulphoxide and water. NMR spectr...

The title complex, systematic name hexa-kis-(μ2-4-tert-but-oxy-4-oxobut-2-en-2-olato)-1:2κ(9) O (2),O (4):O (2);2:3κ(9) O (2),O (4):O (2)-trizinc, [Zn3(C8H13O3)6], syn-the-sized from tert-butyl aceto-acetate and di-ethyl-zinc, consists of trinuclear centrosymmetric mol-ecules of an approximate C 3i symmetry. The three metal cations are arranged in a linear fashion, with the central Zn(II) atom ...

In the present work, vinyl benzyl chloride (VBC) was polymerized by using free radical polymerization. The obtained PVBC reacted with dibutyl amine to obtain tertiary modified polystyrene based polymer (PVBC-Dibutyl amine). inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method used examine thermodynamic properties of polymer. Firstly, retention diagrams some polar and non-polar solvents on PVBC-Dibutyl were ...

AIM To compare levels of combined exposure to white spirit, toluene, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and xylene in the manufacturing of paint, cartridge, drying, and top-coat sections of paint and lacquer industry, and peripheral nerve conduction parameters in the exposed workers. METHODS The exposed group comprised 120 workers while the control group included 110 workers who had never been exp...
