The kinetics of the etherification of tert-amyl alcohol with ethanol, catalysed by a strong ion-exchange resin, Amberlyst 15, has been studied in a batch reactor at temperatures between 323 and 353K and at a pressure of 0.8MPa. The kinetics was described by a coupled sorption-reaction model. Flo...detailed
This work concerns catalyst screening for the synthesis of tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) from a liquid-phase reaction between tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) and ethanol (EtOH). Various commercial catalysts, i.e., Amberlyst 15, Amberlyst 16, Amberlyst 36, Amberlyst 131, β-zeolite with Si/Al=13.5 and 40,...detailed
Experimental excess enthalpies of the ternary system tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME)+tert-amyl alcohol (TAOH)+hexane and the corresponding binary subsystems at 313.15K are reported. Also the systems TAME + TAOH and TAOH + hexane have been measured at 298.15K. A quasi-isothermal flow calorimeter ha...detailed
