Peng, Baoxiang published the artcileExperimental verification of conservatively perturbed equilibrium for a complex non-linear chemical reaction, Safety of Benzyl acetate, the main research area is conservatively perturbed equilibrium nonlinear esterification transesterification reaction kinetics modeling.
The phenomenon of ”conservatively perturbed equilibrium” (CPE) for a complex non-linear chem. system was exptl. verified in a batch reactor in which ethanol and benzyl alc. react with acetic acid producing two different esters and water. Three possible CPE cases, i.e., acetic acid and water unperturbed, ethanol and Et acetate unperturbed, benzyl alc. and benzyl acetate unperturbed, were systematically investigated. For unperturbed substances with initial concentrations of their corresponding equilibrium concentrations, unavoidable extreme values were observed in relaxation to the equilibrium If the unperturbed substances were involved in two reactions, a proper momentary partial equilibrium was not observed at the transient extremum. However, the transient extremum could be an approx. momentary partial equilibrium for the reaction of the unperturbed substance if the rate of some step is insignificant. This fact provides essential information about the detailed mechanism of the complex reaction.
