The reaction kinetics of esterification between n-butanol and acetic acid on acidic solid catalyst named SERALITE SRC-120 under atmospheric pressure was investigated in this work. Reaction experiments were carried out in a stirred batch reactor at temperature range of 353 to 356 K, under various catalyst loads and various starting reactants feed ratios. The experimental data were fitted to estimate the kinetic parameters for reaction mechanisms. The chemical equilibrium composition was measured and kinetic information was obtained at the same temperature range. The results show that the activation energy of n-butanol esterification reaction was found to be 622.28 KJ/mol. Finally the results of produced reaction mechanisms were compared with Experimental results to validate the reaction mechanism. Then it was conclude that the model results with the regressed kinetic parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental results.
