Esterification of Acetic Acid with <i>n</i>-Hexanol in Batch and Continuous Chromatographic Reactors Using a Gelular Ion-Exchange Resin as a Catalyst
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Heterogeneously catalyzed esterification reactions of acetic acid and n -hexanol were studied in batch and continuous chromatographic reactors in the presence of a gelular ion-exchange resin catalyst (Purolite CT-124) to synthesize a value added ester, namely n -hexyl acetate. A laboratory scale batch chromatographic reactor column (BCRC) was designed and constructed. BCRC experiments were carried out using different parameters such as feed flow rate, feed mole ratio (FMR) of n -hexanol to acetic acid, desorbent ( n -hexanol) flow rate, and reaction step time to maximize the formation of n -hexyl acetate as well as to achieve complete conversion of acetic acid. Samples were collected from the chromatographic reactor column (CRC) outlet at regular intervals and were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The continuous chromatographic reactor column (CCRC) was designed, constructed, and commissioned on the basis of the results obtained from the BCRC experiments. The experiments carried out in a CCRC correlate very well with the results obtained from the optimized reaction condition in a BCRC for maximum formation of n -hexyl acetate and complete conversion of acetic acid.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
