Russo, Vincenzo published the artcileKinetic study of Amberlite IR120 catalyzed acid esterification of levulinic acid with ethanol: From batch to continuous operation, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is levulinic acid ethanol esterification cation exchanger kinetics ethyl levulinate.
Levulinic acid (LA) is 1 of the most important platform chems. as it is a versatile building block for a variety of high value-added products, fine chems. and pharmaceutical intermediates. Catalytic esterification of LA with alkyl alcs. leads to levulinate esters which can be used as fragrances, flavoring agents and fuel additives. The kinetics of the levulinic acid esterification with EtOH in the presence of Amberlite IR120 was studied in a batch reactor. The collected exptl. data were interpreted with a reliable model taking into account also for the mass transfer phenomena involved in the reaction network. The kinetic model was further validated by conducting experiments in a fixed bed reactor. The reactor was characterized in terms of fluid-dynamics and the collected kinetic data were interpreted with a reliable reactor model, considering the extent of the reaction and fluid-solid mass transfer limitation.
Chemical Engineering Journal (Amsterdam, Netherlands) published new progress about Density. 539-88-8 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, and the molecular formula is C7H12O3, Category: esters-buliding-blocks.
