Procedure

The conditions were the same as those described in Example 1, but acrylic acid and n-butanol were used in the molar ratio of 1:1. The reactor was supplied with 297 g/h of a mixture consisting of 138 g of acrylic acid, 142 g of n-butanol and 17 g of butylacrylate. An identical quantity of reaction product consisting of 173 g of butylacrylate, 46 g of acrylic acid, 50 g of butanol, 22 g of water and 6 g of residue was discharged. 66.7% of the acrylic acid underwent conversion. 154 g/h of pure butylacrylate free from dibutylether was obtained. This corresponded to a yield of 94.1%, based on the acrylic acid converted. The catalyst performance was 933 g of butylacrylate per kg of catalyst per hour.
