Production of Ethyl Acetate Catalyzed by Activated Carbon-Based Solid Acid Catalyst

摘要

The esterification reaction of ethyl acetate catalyzed by solid acid catalyst suggested that the esterification rate of ethyl acetate with 85.4% was obtained under the best conditions of the single factor tests, which were catalyst dosage of 3%, ethanoic acid/ethanol molar ratio of 1:5, reaction time of 4 h, reaction temperature of 80 °C. At the same time, the stability of the activated carbon solid acid catalyst was analyzed by the esterification rate and the infrared spectrum. Finally, it was concluded that the activated carbon-based solid acid catalyst prepared by this experiment can be reused for 6 times.
