Esterification of propionic acid with n-propanol catalytic and non-catalytic kinetic study
The kinetic expressions and constants for both the heterogeneously catalysed (using Amberlyst 46) and non-catalysed production of propyl propionate from n-propanol and propionic acid have been determined. For the catalysed reaction, a pseudo-homogeneous model was used.
