Kinetics of the esterification of acrylic acid with lower aliphatic alcohols in the presence of dodecatungstophosphoric acid as a catalyst
The syntheses of methyl and ethyl acrylates were studied in a batch reactor, using dodecatungstophosphoric acid as catalyst. The effects of various parameters on the rate of reaction were evaluated. The kinetic models and kinetic parameters have been determined.
