Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction between acetic acid and epichlorohydrin i n the presence of chromium acetate and chromic anhydride have been stu died. The isolation method revealed the reagents reacted with partial orders. A reduction of chromium from the oxidation level +6 to +3 has been observed when chromic anhydride was used as catalyst. A mathemati cal model for the overall process has been developed and the mechanism of reaction discussed.
