Abstract

A batch reactor was used to investigate kinetic behaviour of propionic acid withN-butanol over acidic ion-exchange resign SBA-15. The kinetic studies were performed for temperatures ranges 358oK to 388oK then feed varies 1–5 the molar proportions of propionic acid to N-butanol. The response rate was discovered to rise with rising temperature. However, propionic acid equilibrium conversions slightly change the entire reaction temperature suggesting this reaction's impact is negligible. It’s been discovered that propionic acid conversion improves with feed molar ratios rising from 1 to 5. Based on the outcomes of binary adsorption studies, relative sorption between two interacting species is determined. Water > n-butyl propionate > propionic acid > n-butanol follows the severity of adsorption strengths. The kinetic information was associated Langmuir Hinshelwood Haugan Watson modelsto assess kinetic variables for each model, respectively. The LHHW has produced the highest outcomes among these researched models.
