Abstract
Chemical reaction is the most important phenomena in chemical engineering and Reaction engineering. The reaction kinetics of acetic acid with methanol presence of homogeneous catalyst or without catalyst both analyzed. Batch esterification of acetic acid was carried out at operating conditions, temperature from 303.15k to 323.15k, methanol to acetic acid molar ratio from 1:1. Reaction is 2nd order reversible reaction having Activation energy for the 27.72 kj/kmol and 20.18 kj/kmol for forward and backward reaction respectively. Homogeneous H2SO4 catalyst is used and activation energy for the 17.86 kj/kmol and 13.61kj/kmol for forward and backward reaction respectively. At 323.15k the conversion of acetic acid 0.58 and 0.63(with H2SO4 catalyst).scale up this reaction in continues stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at 323.15k the conversion of acetic acid 0.59 and 0.66(with H2SO4 catalyst).
