Abstract

A kinetic study of the oxidation of ethylene to vinyl acetate using a palladium complex catalyst is reported. The effects of the ethylene partial press concentration and temperature on the rate of ethylene absorption were studied. The solubility of ethylene in acetic acid was determined at various sodi order with respect to the catalyst (PdCl2) concentration and zero order with respect to the benzoquinone concentration. The dependence of the react basis of these data and the kinetic parameters were evaluated. The activation energy was found to be 14.6 kcal mol-1. The effect of sodium acetate on the reaction rate was found to be complex, and an optimum sodium acetate concentration exists for a given set of condit increased with increase in temperature.
