Notes:
A study was made of the rate of liquid-phase oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid. An aqueous, basic solution of ethanol was allowed to trickle over a palladium-onalumina catalyst in a packed tower while oxygen-containing gas was blown upward. The observed rates are described by an equation including a kinetic term and a mass transfer term for the diffusion of oxygen. Kinetic rate constants and gas- and liquid-film mass transfer coefficients are reported.
