Resin Material Used in Methyl Acrylate Hydrolysis Reaction

Abstract:

In this work, the ion exchange resin catalyst named D072 were used in the hydrolysis of a methyl acrylate to acrylic acid and methanol firstlyand chemical equilibrium would be achieved during the process of the reversible reaction system. The influences of parameters such as dosage of catalyst, initial reactants molar ratio and reaction temperature were investigated. Meanwhile, the reusability of cation-exchange resin was studied, and no phenomenon of deactivation was found with using of reused catalyst. Moreover, the experimental data were analyzed by the pseudo-homogeneous (PH) model and the hydrolysis dynamics equation of methyl acrylate was obtained and found that the activation energy of the reaction was 118.37 KJ/mol in the presence of D072. Based on the result, high energy would be needed to the hydrolysis of methyl acrylate in using D072 resin as catalyst.
