Abstract: | Experiments were performed on the esterification of lauric acid with isopropyl alcohol by tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride
in a stirred vessel with a flat liquid-liquid interface. The observed initial rate of reaction was used to analyze the reaction
mechanism combined with the catalyst, and to evaluate the several kinds of reaction rate constant, from which equilibrium
constants were expressed as a function of reaction temperature. The analysis of reaction kinetics indicated that the reaction
was between a very slow and slow reaction regime. |
