Kinetics of the Esterification of Phthalic-Anhydride with 2-Ethylhexanol .1. Sulfuric-Acid as a Catalyst
The kinetics of the esterification of mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst has been investigated in an isothermal semibatch reactor. The reaction appears to be first order with respect to mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate alone and the reaction rate does not depend on the concentration of 2-ethylhexanol. The kinetic parameters have been determined.
