Kinetics of esterification of tri-ethylene glycol-methacrylic acid reaction system

摘要

Catalysis of esterification reaction of triethylene glycol and methacrylic acid has been reported.A kinetic empirical expression correlating the fractional convesion of methacrylic acid,with catalyst concentration,mole ratio (glycol to methacrylic acid) and temperature is presented for tri-ethylene glycol-methacrylic acid reaction system using methane sulphonic acid and sulphuric acid as homogeneous catalyst.
