Abstract

The kinetics of the esterification of n‐butyl alcohol with acetic acid has been studied experimentally in concentrated solutions at near ambient temperature in the presence of a sulphuric acid catalyst and the rate constants for the forward and reverse reaction determined.

The rate data obtained from the homogeneous system has been applied to analyse the performance of a batch‐extractive reactor using n‐heptane as solvent. The rate of mass transfer of the ester was found to be significant and when introduced in a model of the reaction process gave good agreement with the experimental results.

Phase separation in amorphous freeze-dried mixtures is likely in many systems. However, suitable detection methodology has been lacking, as the classical technique, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), relies upon detection of multiple glass transition temperatures (T g ), each of which is chara
