Popis: The esterification of 1-methoxy-2-propanol (PM) and acetic acid (AA) is an important reaction for the production of 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate (PMA). Herein, we used the macroporous ion-exchange resin Amberlyst-35 as a catalyst to explore the effects of reaction conditions on the reaction rate and equilibrium yield of PMA. Under the optimized conditions of a reaction temperature of 353 K, using the initial reactant PM/AA with a molar ratio of 1:3, and a catalyst loading of 10 wt%, the PMA equilibrium yield reached 78%, which is the highest equilibrium yield so far. The reaction equilibrium constants and activity coefficients were estimated to obtain reaction thermodynamic properties, indicating the exothermicity of the reaction. Furthermore, pseudo-homogeneous (PH), Eley–Rideal (ER), and Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson (LHHW) kinetic models were fitted based on experimental reaction kinetic data. The results demonstrate that the LHHW model is the most consistent with experimental data, indicating a surface reaction-controlled process and exhibiting an apparent activation energy of 62.0 ± 0.2 kJ/mol. This work represents a valuable example of calculating reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, which are particularly essential for promising industrial reactor designs.
