This work was aimed at studying liquid-phase acetic acid and butyl alcohol esterification reaction (Patm =0.76 Bar), using an ion exchange resin (Lewatit K-2431) as catalyst. The effect of the absence of internal and external mass transport on catalyst particles was established in the research conditions used here. A set of assays to determine the effect of catalyst load (0.5%, 1%, 2% w/w) temperature (73°C, 80°C, 87°C) and molar ratio (1:2, 1:1, 2:1 acid/ alcohol) on reaction rate was carried out and both LHHW and pseudo-homogeneous kinetic expressions were obtained, these being in good agreement with the experimental data.

En este trabajo se adelantó un estudio de la reacción de esterificación de ácido acético y n-butanol en fase liquida (Patm = 0,76 Bar), utilizando unas resinas de intercambio catiónico (Lewatit K-2431) como catalizador. Se estableció la ausencia de efectos de transferencia de masa dentro y fuera de las partículas de catalizador en las condiciones estudiadas. Se efectuaron ensayos para determinar la influencia de la carga del catalizador (0.5 %, 1%, 2% p/p), la temperatura (73°C, 80°C, 87°C) y la relación molar de alimentación (ácido/alcohol 1:2, 1:1, 2:1) sobre la velocidad de la reacción, y se obtuvieron dos expresiones cinéticas del tipo LHHW y seudohomogéneo que representa adecuadamente los datos experimentales.
