Procedure

The following tests were carried out on the residue stream drawn from the base of a continuously-operating still-reactor column within which n-butanol and acrylic acid were being reacted in the presence of para-toluenesulfonic acid catalyst to form butyl acrylate. Acrylic acid and n-butanol were continuously introduced into the base section of the column, where they were mixed into a continuously-circulating stream drawn from the base of the column which then passed through a reboiler and was reintroduced into the column below the first tray. The esterification reaction took place in the base of the column, from which there was a small continuous drawoff of refractory tars.
