Application of a fluidized reaction-distillation column for hydrolysis of methyl acetate

Determination of adsorption and kinetic parameters for methyl acetate esterification and hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by Amberlyst 15

“…In addition to the synthesis [1,2] and hydrolysis of methyl acetate [4], the above reaction finds application in the recovery of dilute acetic acid from wastewater, particularly in processes involving acetic anhydride [5,6] in which the dilute acetic acid should be removed before discharging the wastewater. In the latter, methanol is added to convert acetic acid to methyl acetate, which can be recovered easily from water.…”

Catalytic Hydrolysis of Ethyl Acetate using Cation Exchange Resin (Amberlyst - 15) : A Kinetic Study

“…The reaction kinetics and chemical equilibrium of the reversible esterification of methanol with acetic acid were investigated by Popken et al [5], and Han et al [6]. The reaction was catalyzed both homogeneously by acetic acid itself and heterogeneously by an acidic ion-exchange resin (Amberlyst-15).…”

Catalysis in Multifunctional Reactors

“…However, the process may suffer from high-pressure drop and operational problems like blockage of screen support by catalytic particles. Syntheses of cumene [15,16], linear alkylbenzene [17,18] and methyl acetate hydrolysis [19] have been successfully tested in such suspended catalytic distillation column.…”
