These syntheses involved the reaction of ethanol or n-butanol with acetic acid or acetic anhydride in the presence of ion exchange resins: Amberlyst 15, Amberlyst 16, Amberlyst 36 and Dowex 50WX8. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies were performed with all resins. The lowest activation energy (Ea) value was obtained with Dowex 50WX8, which was identified as the best-performing resin, able to be reused at least in four runs without regeneration. The presence of water-azeotropes during the synthesis of ethyl acetate makes its purification difficult. A new strategy was adopted here, involving the use of ethanol and acetic anhydride as the starting material. In order to minimize acetic acid as co-product of this reaction, a novel two-step process for the coproduction of ethyl and butyl acetates was developed. The first step involves the production of ethyl acetate and its purification. Butyl acetate was produced in the second step: n-butanol was added to the mixture of acetic acid and the resin remaining after the first-step distillation. This process yields ethyl acetate and butyl acetate at high purity and shows an environmental benefit over the independent syntheses by green metrics calculation and life cycle assessment.展开更多

Inductively coupled plasma(ICP), surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction(XRD), H2-temperature programmed reduc- tion(H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), NH3-temperature programmed desorption(NH3-TPD) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) techniques were used to characterize the catalysts. The results reveal that ZrO2 can improve the dispersion of copper species and increase the acidity of the Cu(ZrO2)/SiO2 catalysts. The Cu0 is responsible for ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde, and both the Lewis acid and Bronsted acid sites were in favor of the selectivity to ethyl acetate. The synergistic effect of Cu0 and an appropriate amount of acidic sites played an important role in the production of ethyl acetate.展开更多

文摘In this work, a novel hollow fiber membrane extractor was set up to extract inorganic anions from ethyl acetate using deionized water. Inorganic anions in slightly soluble organic solvents can be determined by the in-line hollow fiber membrane extractor coupled with ion chromatography at first time. Different aspects of the extraction procedure such as magnetic stirring speed, extraction flow rate and extraction time were optimized to achieve high extraction efficiency and good separation results. Satisfactory linear range, limits of detection and good repeatability were obtained. The procedure was applied to analyze inorganic anions in two commercial ethyl acetate samples.

文摘Before proposing an innovative process for the coproduction of ethyl and butyl acetates, the individual syntheses of ethyl acetate and butyl acetate by two different routes were first studied. These syntheses involved the reaction of ethanol or n-butanol with acetic acid or acetic anhydride in the presence of ion exchange resins: Amberlyst 15, Amberlyst 16, Amberlyst 36 and Dowex 50WX8. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies were performed with all resins. The lowest activation energy (Ea) value was obtained with Dowex 50WX8, which was identified as the best-performing resin, able to be reused at least in four runs without regeneration. The presence of water-azeotropes during the synthesis of ethyl acetate makes its purification difficult. A new strategy was adopted here, involving the use of ethanol and acetic anhydride as the starting material. In order to minimize acetic acid as co-product of this reaction, a novel two-step process for the coproduction of ethyl and butyl acetates was developed. The first step involves the production of ethyl acetate and its purification. Butyl acetate was produced in the second step: n-butanol was added to the mixture of acetic acid and the resin remaining after the first-step distillation. This process yields ethyl acetate and butyl acetate at high purity and shows an environmental benefit over the independent syntheses by green metrics calculation and life cycle assessment.

文摘The CeO_(2)-TiO_(2)@MnO_(x) catalyst was prepared by the co-precipitation method and applied to the photothermocatalysis system of ethyl acetate and NO simultaneous degradation under H_(2)O at low temperature,which introduced Ce into TiO_(2)@MnO_(x) hollow sptrera structure.The optimum TiO_(2)/MnO_(x) ratio and Ce introducing amount were obtained in the process.Among of them,the NO and ethyl acetate conversion percentage of TiO_(2)@MnO_(x)(n_(Mn):n_(Ti)=40:40)is 74%and 62%at 240℃,respectively.CeO_(2)-TiO_(2)@MnO_(x)(n_(Mn):n_(Ce)=1:1)exhibits the best catalytic performance,its efficiency for NO conversion is 83%and the conversion of ethyl acetate reaches 72%at 240℃.In addition,it is confirmed that the Cedoped nanocomposites have more uniform dispersion through various characterization and analysis methods.Meanwhile,these catalysts have a large specific surface area as well as a large number of surface-active oxygen and oxygen vacancies.It can further improve the catalytic performance based on the adjusted ratio of active components.Moreover,this work investigated the relationship between multi-metal interactions and catalytic performance in the presence of H_(2)O.Finally,the possible reaction pathways for the simultaneous removal of NO and ethyl acetate were explored in our system.

文摘The catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate(EA)was studied over CuO/CeO_(2) catalysts which were prepared by ball milling with different precursors(copper oxide,cerium acetate,cerium dioxide,copper acetate and cerium hydroxide).The CuO/CeO_(2) catalyst(O-A)prepared with copper oxide and cerium acetate as precursors shows very high catalytic activity that 100%EA conversion is achieved at low temperature of 220℃.It is found that specific surface area(112.8 m^(2)/g),particle size of CuO(3.5 nm)and proportion of oxygen vacancies are prominent on the O-A catalyst.Oxygen vacancies in CeO_(2)support are beneficial to enhancing the adsorption and activation of the oxygen.More finely dispersed CuO particles and oxygen vacancies which are derived from the synergistic interaction of Cu-Ce species play an important role in the catalytic oxidation of EA.

文摘Direct transformation of ethanol to ethyl acetate was investigated on a series of Cu(ZrO2)/SiO2 catalysts. Inductively coupled plasma(ICP), surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction(XRD), H2-temperature programmed reduc- tion(H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), NH3-temperature programmed desorption(NH3-TPD) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) techniques were used to characterize the catalysts. The results reveal that ZrO2 can improve the dispersion of copper species and increase the acidity of the Cu(ZrO2)/SiO2 catalysts. The Cu0 is responsible for ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde, and both the Lewis acid and Bronsted acid sites were in favor of the selectivity to ethyl acetate. The synergistic effect of Cu0 and an appropriate amount of acidic sites played an important role in the production of ethyl acetate.
