| Abstract | In present work, liquid phase esterification of acetic acid with ethanol over dodecatungestophosphoric acid (DTPA) supported on K10 mommorillonite was systematically studied and optimization of process parameters was carried out The 20% m/m urpAtK tO was found to be the optimum catalyst with 90% acetic acid conversion and 100% ethyl acetate selectivity The study was also explored to see the feasibility of 20% m/m DTPA/K10 as a catalyst for the alkylation of acetic acid with other alcohols like methanol, iso-propanol and sr-butanol. The 20% m/m DTPA/K10 has shown increased activity with the increase in carbon number, at the same alcohol reflux The results are novel |
