Kinetics of the synthesis of higher aliphatic alcohols from syngas over a modified methanol synthesis catalyst

Abstract Kinetic investigation on the synthesis of a mixture of methanol and higher aliphatic alcohols from the synthesis gas has been conducted over a Cs-doped CuZn composite catalyst in an experimental gradientless reactor. The kinetic equation was described in a simple power law form.

Kinetics of the esterification of benzoic acid with n-octyl alcohol or isooctyl (2-ethylhexyl) alcohol using sulfuric acid catalyst

The esterificaion of benzoic acid has been studied in an experimental, isothermal, semi-batch reactor using sulfuric acid catalyst. The reaction appears to be the first order with respect to benzoic acid and does not depend on the concentration of octyl alcohol. The kinetic parameters are given.

Thermodynamics and kinetics of the synthesis of higher aliphatic alcohols

Abstract The thermodynamics of the synthesis of higher aliphatic alcohols is studied in detail. Kinetic model of the synthesis of higher aliphatic alcohols is presented. Experiments were carried out in a high-pressure continuous gradientless stirred tank reactor. Unexpectedly, the reaction rate is independent of partial pressure of carbon monoxide.
