Kinetics of esterification of acrylic acid with ethanol in the presence of homogeneous (H2SO4, HCl, p-TSA, HI) catalysts as well as heterogeneous catalysts (Dowex 50WX, Amberlyst 15) was studied. The effects and performance of these catalysts on the conversion of acrylic acid were evaluated. In the kinetics of homogeneous catalyzed reaction, both concentration and activity-based model were employed. Activity coefficients were predicted by the Universal Functional group Contribution (UNIFAC) method to consider nonideal behavior of the liquid phase. The heterogeneous catalyzed reaction mechanisms were developed using Eley–Rideal theory. The model results were compared with the experimental results and were in good agreement. The temperature dependency of the constants, reaction enthalpy, and entropy, and activation energy were determined. The conversion of acrylic acid was obtained as 63.2%, 61.02%, 53.3%, 21.4%, 34.96%, and 14.84% for H2SO4, p-TSA, HCl, HI, Dowex 50WX, and Amberlyst 15, respectively, under process temperature of 70°C, reactant molar ratio of 1:1, and catalyst concentration of 2% (v/v) for homogeneous and 2.17 g for heterogeneous catalyst. These outcomes provide an approach to understand the significant effect of each catalyst on the esterification kinetics of acrylic acid and ethanol.
