Abstract

The synthesis of 1,1‐diethoxyethane from ethanol and acetaldehyde was studied in a continuous flow reactor using Amberlyst 15 as catalyst. The resin underwent an important activity loss with both analytical quality reagents and industrial raw materials. The deactivation was related to a deterioration in acidity as a consequence of sulfonic group hydration mainly promoted by water from reaction. A higher ethanol conversion and a lower deactivation rate at long time on‐stream were observed when n‐hexane was added to the feed. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry

The effects of the gas flow rate in the reactors and the boiling point range of the feed solvent on conversion in brown coal liquefaction were investigated in the presence of iron-sulfur catalyst, using a continuous reactor system. An increase in the gas flow rate (GFR) markedly increased the distil
