Abstract
Esterification of lactic acid with butanol catalysed by cation-exchang e resin was carried out in a batch reactor in dioxane and toluene. The reaction rate was found to be first order with respect to catalyst an d acid concentrations. The inhibiting effect of water and butanol has been evaluated. The rate data were correlated with a kinetic model bas ed on inhibition by water and butanol.
