β¦ Synopsis
Synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether (abbreviated as MTBE) from methanol (MeOH) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) in the liquid phase was studied by using Amberlyst 15 in the Hi form as an acid catalyst. Experiments were carried out in a stirred batch reactor at different temperatures (313, 318, and 323 K) under atmospheric pressure.
It was found that catalyst sizes and rotation speeds had no significant effects on reaction rates. Mechanism studies showed that three reactions took place simultaneously. It was also found that dehydration of TBA could not be neglected. The experimental concentration profiles with time could be simulated well by simple kinetics. Finally, rate constants could be expressed by Arrhenius equations.
