Reaction conditions and kinetics for synthesizing methyl oleate

Xiaoli Zhang, Hongjun You

Effects of different reaction conditions such as the amount of catalysts, the molar ratio of oleic acid tomethanol, the reaction temperature, the retention time and the reaction time on the synthesis of methyl oleate have been discussed. Kinetics equations have also been applied on methyl oleate system. The results showthat kinetic equationsmay predict the distribution of product and the experimental data are in agreementwith the quantitatively analytical conclusions drawn from the calculated data.
