B. Newalkar et al., KINETICS OF ETHYLACETATE HYDROLYSIS ON MORDENITE, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 32(10), 1993, pp. 881-885
Liquid phase hydrolysis of ethylacetate on mordenite catalyst has been
studied. The performance of this zeolite is compared with ion exchang
e resin, other zeolite like H-Y, H-ZSM-5 and conventional catalyst use
d in homogeneous phase, viz., HCl. Attempts have been made to use mord
enite repeatedly after reactivating it. Based on estimated activation
energy and related thermodynamic parameters, Si/Al ratio effect and ze
olite acidity, the observed results have been explained.
