About this document
MTBE Synthesis Catalysed by Acid Ion Exc by w6r5g46ztg is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a study on the kinetics of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) synthesis from isobutene and methanol using Amberlyst 18 ion exchange resin as a catalyst in a batch reactor. The research identifies the rate-controlling step as a reversible surface reaction, with a model based on a Rideal-Eley expression describing the experimental results. The activation energy for the reaction was determined to be 130.2 kJ/mol, highlighting the significance of MTBE in reducing harmful emissions in gasoline
