Abstract

The kinetics of the liquid-phase dimerization of isobutene in the presence of a macroporous acidic resin (Lewatit K-2631, Bayer) has been studied. Rate data were obtained in a batchwise stirred tank reactor operated at 1.6 MPa and 40–60°C. The best rate model is a two-phase semiempirical one which implies the coexistence of a Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson mechanism and a modified Eley-Rideal one.
