Kinetics of synthesis of esters of crotonic acid and n-decyl and n-dodecyl alcohols using sulfuric acid catalyst
The kinetics of the esterification of crotonic acid with n-decyl alcohol and n-dodecyl alcohol has been investigated in. an experimental isothermal semi batch reactor. When using sulfuric acid catalyst, the reaction appears to be the. first order with respect to crotonic acid and the first order with respect, to alcohol. The kinetic parameters have been determined.
