N-Propyl acetate

Ethyl acetate. Use 58 g. (73-5 ml.) of absolute ethyl alcohol, 225 g. of glacial acetic acid and 3 g. of concentrated sulphuric acid. Reflux for 6-12 hours. Work up as for n-propyl acetate. B.p. 76- 77°. Yield 32 g. Much ethyl acetate is lost in the washing process. A better yield may be obtained, and most of the excess of acetic acid may be recovered, by distilhng the reaction mixture through an efficient fractionating column and proceeding as for methyl acetate.

Acid Manufacture. Relatively small mostly leakage plus drainings from air pollution abatement scrubbers. Also included are a) acid waters, neutralized with lime or soda ash b) sometimes azeotroping agents such as n-propyl acetate c) sometimes heavy metals from equipment corrosion and d) nitrobodies from acid recovery... 

Comparing equations 13.8 and 13.9, it is seen that the adiabatic saturation temperature i > equal to the wet-bulb temperature when s = h/hDpA. This is the case for most water vapour systems and accurately so when Jf = 0.047. The ratio (h/hopAs) = b is sometimes known as the psychrometric ratio and, as indicated, b is approximately unity for the air-water system. For most systems involving air and an organic liquid, b = 1.3 - 2.5 and the wet-bulb temperature is higher than the adiabatic saturation temperature. This was confirmed in 1932 by SHERWOOD and COMINGS 2 who worked with water, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, and n-propyl acetate, and found that the wet-bulb temperature was always higher than the adiabatic saturation temperature except in the case of water.
