Abstract

The kinetics of absorption of oxygen by 2-ethylhexaldehyde dissolved in 2-ethylhexanoic acid at concentrations up to 1.38 × 10-3 mole/cm3 (20 wt.-%), in the presence of manganese acetate, was studied in a stirred cell and in bubble and packed bubble columns. Diffusion of oxygen was found to play a major role. The reaction was first order in oxygen and second order with respect to the aldehyde, and the overall third-order rate constant was found to be 2.98 × 107 cm6 mole-2 sec-1 at 30 °. The effect of cobaltous acetate on the specific rate of absorption of oxygen was also studied and manganese acetate was found to be the better catalyst.
