Abstract
The kinetics of the esterification of benzoic acid with n-octyl and isoocty l alcohols has been investigated in an experimental isothermal semi batch r eactor. The reaction appears to be the first order with respect to benzoic acid and does not depend on the concentration of octyl alcohol. The kinetic parameters have been determined.
