J. Skrzypek et al., KINETICS OF THE ESTERIFICATION OF PHTHALIC-ANHYDRIDE WITH 2-ETHYLHEXANOL .3. TETRABUTYL TITANATE AS A CATALYST, Chemical engineering and processing, 35(4), 1996, pp. 283-286
The kinetics of the esterification of mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate in t
he presence of tetrabutyl titanate as a catalyst have been investigate
d in an isothermal semibatch reactor. The reaction appears to be secon
d order. The kinetics parameters have been determined.
