Abstract
Abstract The chemical equilibrium for the liquid-phase decomposition of 2-methyl-2-methoxybutane ( tert -amyl methyl ether) was studied experimentally in the temperature range 313–353K and at 700 kPa. To reach decomposition equilibrium, the macroporous acid resin K-2631 (Bayer) was used as the catalyst. Equilibrium constants and standard enthalpies, free energies, and entropies for addition of methanol to 2-methyl-1-butene and 2-methyl-2-butene (forward reactions) were determined as a temperature function and compared with literature data. The unifac estimates of activity coefficients were used to describe the liquid-phase non-ideality.
