Kinetics of self-condensation of acetone over heterogeneous Ba(OH)(2) and Sr(OH)(2) catalysts

Kustrowski P, Sulkowska D, Pytlowany R, Dziembaj R

Catalytic performance of Ba(OH)(2) and Sr(OH)(2) in self-condensation of acetone was examined in the temperature range from 273 to 303 K. A kinetic model of second order with respect to acetone was used for interpretation of the results obtained for the diacetone alcohol formation.
