Tässä diplomityössä oli tavoitteena löytää ratkaisu Biolan Oy:n lannoiteja kasvualustatehtaan varastoja kompostointikentältä tulevien suotoja hulevesien käsittelyyn. Erityisenä kiinnostuksen kohteena oli suotoja hulevesien sisältämän fosforin poistamisen ratkaisun löytäminen. Ratkaisua päätettiin lähteä hakemaan kemiallisen saostuksen kautta. Fosforin kemiallinen saostus toteutetaan nykypäivänä useimmiten raudan ja alumiini yhdisteiden avulla, mutta tämän työn lähtökohtana oli saostuksen suorittaminen kalkilla. Yhtenä työn lähtökohtana oli myös muodostuvan, fosforipitoisen, kalkkisakan hyödyntäminen Biolan Oy:n kasvualustatehtaan tuottamien kasvualustojen ravinnelähteenä, jolloin yleisesti ongelmana pidetty jätevesiliete muuttuu mahdollisuudeksi.

Työssä tutkittiin metalli- ja anioniepäpuhtauksien myötäuuttautumista sinkin mukana di(2-etyyliheksyyli)fosforihappoalla (D2EHPA). Laboratoriokokeissa selvitettiin pH:n vaikutusta metalliepäpuhtauksien uuttautumiseen pH-alueella -O, l... 3 sekä pesujen vaikutusta sinkillä ladatun orgaanisen faasin metallipitoisuuksiin. Kokeita tehtiin sekä synteettisillä että autenttisilla prosessiliuoksilla. Anionikokeissa tutkittiin raudan ja sinkin vaikutusta kloridin ja fluoridin uuttautumiseen. Synteettisillä liuoksilla tehdyissä kokeissa tutkittiin kadmiumin, koboltin, nikkelin, kuparin sekä antimonin uuttautumista sinkkisulfaattiliuoksesta. Kokeissa havaittiin D2EHPA:n uuttavan sinkkiä selvästi em. metalleja paremmin. Sinkki uuttautui sulfaattiliuoksesta lähes täydellisesti tasapaino-pH:n ollessa yli 2,3. Sinkin jälkeen muista metalleista uuttautui eniten kadmium ja järjestyksessä sitten kupari, koboltti ja nikkeli. Epäpuhtausmetallien myötäuuttautumista lisääntyi uuton tasapaino-pH:n kasvaessa ja väheni sinkkilatauksen kasvaessa. Kahdella peräkkäisellä pesuaskeleella, joissa ensimmäinen pesuliuos sisälsi 5 g/L rikkihappoa ja toinen sekä 15 g/L rikkihappoa että 5 g/L sinkkiä saatiin kaikkien epäpuhtausmetallien pitoisuudet jäämään alle 3 mg/L. Antimonin uuttokokeissa huomattiin antimonin uuttautuvan täydellisesti D2EHPA:lla pH:sta riippumatta pH-alueella0...3. Prosessiliuoksilla tehdyissä kokeissa todettiin D2EHPA:n pystyvän tehokkaasti erottamaan sinkin magnesiumista ßzn,Mg ˜107 ja kadmiumista ßzn,cd ˜106. Havaittiin myös, että mitä suurempi sinkki- ja rautalataus orgaanisessa faasissa on sitä vähemmän magnesiumia ja kadmiumia uuttautuu. Ensimmäisessä pesussa saatiin sekä kadmiumin että magnesiumin pitoisuudet putoamaan keskimäärin 0,1 mg/L eli 30 alkuperäisestä pitoisuudesta. Toisella pesuaskeleella ei enää ollut vaikutusta kadmiumin ja magnesiumin pitoisuuksiin orgaanisessa faasissa. Kokeissa havaittiin myös, että D2EHPA:n latausasteen ylittäessä 0,7 alkaa sinkki-D2EHPA-kompleksit polymeroitua ja faasit eivät enää selkeytyneet helposti. Anionikokeissa huomattiin, ettei D2EHPA uuttanut kloridi tai fluoridi sinkin tai raudan mukana. D2EHPA:n havaittiin myös itsessään sisältävän hieman kloridia.

Apatiittien käyttöä raaka-aineena lannoitteiden valmistusprosessissa on usein hankaloittanut lannoitelietteen viskositeetin kasvu, kun hapanta lannoitelietettä on neutraloitu ammoniakilla. Työn tarkoituksena oli tutkia lannoitelietteen viskositeettiin vaikuttavia tekijöitä ja tekijöiden vaikutusta lannoitteen ominaisuuksiin. Työn kirjallisen osan alkupuoliskolla käsiteltiin raakafosfaatteja ja fosfaattilannoitteita. Tämän jälkeen keskityttiin lannoitteiden valmistukseen sekä viskositeetin merkitykseen lannoiteprosesseissa. Työn kokeellisessa osassa tutkittiin raakafosfaatin, liuotushapon, liuotushappomäärän, ammonointiajan sekä apatiitti/fosforihappo-suhteen vaikutusta lannoitteen ominaisuuksiin. Kokeet aloitettiin raakafosfaatin liuotuksella happoon. Tämän jälkeen liete neutraloitiin ammoniakilla ja suoritettiin muiden ravinteiden lisäys. Lannoitelietteen viskositeettiin voimakkaimmin vaikuttavat tekijät olivat kokeissa käytetty liuotushappo, ammonointiaika sekä raakafosfaatti. Raakafosfaatilla, liuotushapolla sekä apatiitti/fosforihappo-suhteella havaittiin olevan suurin merkitys lannoitteen fosforin vesiliukoisuudelle.

Työssä tutkittiin sinkin uutossa käytettävän di(2-etyyliheksyyli)fosforihappo (D2EHPA) -uuttoreagenssin faasikäyttäytymistä ja miten laimentimen koostumus, lämpötila ja orgaanisen faasin sinkkipitoisuus vaikuttavat faasitasapainoon. Laimentimen vaikutuksen havaittiin olevan pientä, kun taas lämpötilan nostaminen yli huoneenlämpötilan leventää faasidiagrammin yksifaasialuetta. Pienet orgaanisen faasin sinkkipitoisuudet eivät juuri vaikuta faasitasapainoon. Sinkin ja D2EHPA:n moolisuhteen ollessa välillä 0,1–0,2 kompleksin rakenne ilmeisesti muuttuu. Sinkkipitoisuuden kasvaessa yksifaasialue muodostuu pienemmillä ammoniakkimäärillä. Suurilla orgaanisen faasin sinkkipitoisuuksilla ja ammoniakkimäärillä muodostuu orgaanisen faasin ja vesifaasin välille kolmas nestefaasi. D2EHPA:n (40 p %) vesipitoisuuden ja viskositeetin pH riippuvuutta tutkittiin, kun laimentimena oli alifaattinen hiilivetyliuotin. Nostettaessa pH yli 3,5:n uuttoreagenssi alkoi muodostaa käänteismisellejä, jolloin orgaanisen faasin vesipitoisuus ja viskositeetti kasvoivat eksponentiaalisesti. Sinkin mukana uuttautuu epäpuhtauksia kuten Al3+, Co2+, Cu2+, Na+, Ni2+, Cl- ja F-. Takaisinuuton kautta epäpuhtaudet joutuvat talteenottoelektrolyysiin, jossa ne voivat vaikuttaa tuotteen laatuun ja laskea virtahyötysuhdetta. Tarkoituksena oli tutkia väheneekö epäpuhtauksien myötäuuttautuminen jollakin tietyllä sinkin latausasteella. Fluoridin ja kuparin uuttautumisen havaittiin vähenevän vasta, kun sinkin pitoisuus orgaanisessa faasissa oli yli 20 g/L lämpötilasta riippumatta. Fluoridi uuttautuu mahdollisesti alumiinikompleksina ja/tai fluorihappona. Koboltin ja nikkelin myötäuuttautumisen havaittiin vähenevän, kun sinkin latausaste oli yli 10 g/L. Natrium ja kloridi eivät myötäuuttautuneet.

Fine powders of minerals are used commonly in the paper and paint industry, and for ceramics. Research for utilizing of different waste materials in these applications is environmentally important. In this work, the ultrafine grinding of two waste gypsum materials, namely FGD (Flue Gas Desulphurisation) gypsum and phosphogypsum from a phosphoric acid plant, with the attrition bead mill and with the jet mill has been studied. The ' objective of this research was to test the suitability of the attrition bead mill and of the jet mill to produce gypsum powders with a particle size of a few microns. The grinding conditions were optimised by studying the influences of different operational grinding parameters on the grinding rate and on the energy consumption of the process in order to achieve a product fineness such as that required in the paper industry with as low energy consumption as possible. Based on experimental results, the most influential parameters in the attrition grinding were found to be the bead size, the stirrer type, and the stirring speed. The best conditions, based on the product fineness and specific energy consumption of grinding, for the attrition grinding process is to grind the material with small grinding beads and a high rotational speed of the stirrer. Also, by using some suitable grinding additive, a finer product is achieved with a lower energy consumption. In jet mill grinding the most influential parameters were the feed rate, the volumetric flow rate of the grinding air, and the height of the internal classification tube. The optimised condition for the jet is to grind with a small feed rate and with a large rate of volumetric flow rate of grinding air when the inside tube is low. The finer product with a larger rate of production was achieved with the attrition bead mill than with the jet mill, thus the attrition grinding is better for the ultrafine grinding of gypsum than the jet grinding. Finally the suitability of the population balance model for simulation of grinding processes has been studied with different S , B , and C functions. A new S function for the modelling of an attrition mill and a new C function for the modelling of a jet mill were developed. The suitability of the selected models with the developed grinding functions was tested by curve fitting the particle size distributions of the grinding products and then comparing the fitted size distributions to the measured particle sizes. According to the simulation results, the models are suitable for the estimation and simulation of the studied grinding processes.

Työn tarkoituksena oli löytää kapillaarielektroforeesimenetelmä (CE), joka soveltuisi metallien neste-nesteuutossa käytettävien orgaanisten uuttofaasien koostumuksen analysointiin. Kapillaarielektroforeesissa käytetyn elektrolyyttiliuoksen analyytti-kohtaista optimointia ei tässä työssä tehty, vaan liikkeelle lähdettiin fenoleille tarkoitetulla menetelmällä. Tarkasteltavia uuttoreagenssiryhmiä olivat hydroksi-oksiimit sekä fosfiinihappo- ja fosforihappopohjaiset reagenssit. Tutkittavia kaupallisia laimentimia olivat Orfom SX 11 ja Shellsol D70. Lisäksi tutkittiin kahta modifiointiainetta, TOPOa (tri-n-oktyylifosfiinioksidi) ja TXIB:tä (2,2,4-trimetyyli-1,3-pentaanidiolidi-isobutyraatti). Työssä tavoiteltiin kapillaarielektroforeesin hyötyjä erityisesti hydrometallurgisessa teollisuudessa. Suurimpana hyötynä ennakoitiin mahdollisuus analysoida suuria molekyylejä, kuten uuttoreagenssi-metallikomplekseja, joita ei pystytä analysoimaan kaasukromatografilla (GC). Näytteet voidaan myös analysoida ilman hidasta ja usein ei-kvantitatiivista derivatisointia. Kirjallisuudesta ei löytynyt aiempia artikkeleita CE:n soveltamisesta kyseisille aiheille. Kapillaarielektroforeesianalyyseissa pystyttiin esimerkiksi havaitsemaan hydroksi-oksiimin kuparikompleksi orgaanisessa faasissa. Seulonta-ajoissa yleisenä ongelmana oli kuitenkin tulosten heikko toistettavuus. Kapillaari-elektro-foreesi-menetelmä tarjoaa selvästi mahdollisuuksia tulevaisuudessa, mutta vielä sillä ei päästy luotettavaan toistoon sähkökentän häiriöiden ja elektrolyyttiliuoksen riittämättömän optimoinnin vuoksi. Lisäksi teollisissa olosuhteissa käytetyille autenttisille hydroksioksiimi- ja fosfiinihapponäytteille tehtiin perinteisiä kaasukromatografia-analyysejä, joiden perusteella voitiin nähdä uuttofaasin koostumuksen muuttuneen prosessissa. Hapettuminen sekä eri hydrolyysireaktiot ovat tärkeimmät syyt reagenssien ja laimentimien muuttumiselle. Näitä hajoamistuotteita ei tässä työssä onnistuttu analysoimaan kapillaarielektroforeesilla.

This dissertation is based on 5 articles which deal with reaction mechanisms of the following selected industrially important organic reactions: 1. dehydrocyclization of n-butylbenzene to produce naphthalene 2. dehydrocyclization of 1-(p-tolyl)-2-methylbutane (MB) to produce 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene 3. esterification of neopentyl glycol (NPG) with different carboxylic acids to produce monoesters 4. skeletal isomerization of 1-pentene to produce 2-methyl-1-butene and 2-methyl-2-butene The results of initial- and integral-rate experiments of n-butylbenzene dehydrocyclization over selfmade chromia/alumina catalyst were applied when investigating reaction 2. Reaction 2 was performed using commercial chromia/alumina of different acidity, platina on silica and vanadium/calcium/alumina as catalysts. On all catalysts used for the dehydrocyclization, major reactions were fragmentation of MB and 1-(p-tolyl)-2-methylbutenes (MBes), dehydrogenation of MB, double bond transfer, hydrogenation and 1,6-cyclization of MBes. Minor reactions were 1,5-cyclization of MBes and methyl group fragmentation of 1,6- cyclization products. Esterification reactions of NPG were performed using three different carboxylic acids: propionic, isobutyric and 2-ethylhexanoic acid. Commercial heterogeneous gellular (Dowex 50WX2), macroreticular (Amberlyst 15) type resins and homogeneous para-toluene sulfonic acid were used as catalysts. At first NPG reacted with carboxylic acids to form corresponding monoester and water. Then monoester esterified with carboxylic acid to form corresponding diester. In disproportionation reaction two monoester molecules formed NPG and corresponding diester. All these three reactions can attain equilibrium. Concerning esterification, water was removed from the reactor in order to prevent backward reaction. Skeletal isomerization experiments of 1-pentene were performed over HZSM-22 catalyst. Isomerization reactions of three different kind were detected: double bond, cis-trans and skeletal isomerization. Minor side reaction were dimerization and fragmentation. Monomolecular and bimolecular reaction mechanisms for skeletal isomerization explained experimental results almost equally well. Pseudohomogeneous kinetic parameters of reactions 1 and 2 were estimated by usual least squares fitting. Concerning reactions 3 and 4 kinetic parameters were estimated by the leastsquares method, but also the possible cross-correlation and identifiability of parameters were determined using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. Finally using MCMC method, the estimation of model parameters and predictions were performed according to the Bayesian paradigm. According to the fitting results suggested reaction mechanisms explained experimental results rather well. When the possible cross-correlation and identifiability of parameters (Reactions 3 and 4) were determined using MCMC method, the parameters identified well, and no pathological cross-correlation could be seen between any parameter pair.

The consumption of manganese is increasing, but huge amounts of manganese still end up in waste in hydrometallurgical processes. The recovery of manganese from multi-metal solutions at low concentrations may not be economical. In addition, poor iron control typically prevents the production of high purity manganese. Separation of iron from manganese can be done with chemical precipitation or solvent extraction methods. Combined carbonate precipitation with air oxidation is a feasible method to separate iron and manganese due to the fast kinetics, good controllability and economical reagents. In addition the leaching of manganese carbonate is easier and less acid consuming than that of hydroxide or sulfide precipitates. Selective iron removal with great efficiency from MnSO4 solution is achieved by combined oxygen or air oxidation and CaCO3 precipitation at pH > 5.8 and at a redox potential of > 200 mV. In order to avoid gypsum formation, soda ash should be used instead of limestone. In such case, however, extra attention needs to be paid on the reagents mole ratios in order to avoid manganese coprecipitation. After iron removal, pure MnSO4 solution was obtained by solvent extraction using organophosphorus reagents, di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and bis(2,4,4- trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (CYANEX 272). The Mn/Ca and Mn/Mg selectivities can be increased by decreasing the temperature from the commonly used temperatures (40 –60oC) to 5oC. The extraction order of D2EHPA (Ca before Mn) at low temperature remains unchanged but the lowering of temperature causes an increase in viscosity and slower phase separation. Of these regents, CYANEX 272 is selective for Mn over Ca and, therefore, it would be the better choice if there is Ca present in solution. A three-stage Mn extraction followed by a two-stage scrubbing and two-stage sulfuric acid stripping is an effective method of producing a very pure MnSO4 intermediate solution for further processing. From the intermediate MnSO4 some special Mn- products for ion exchange applications were synthesized and studied. Three types of octahedrally coordinated manganese oxide materials as an alternative final product for manganese were chosen for synthesis: layer structured Nabirnessite, tunnel structured Mg-todorokite and K-kryptomelane. As an alternative source of pure MnSO4 intermediate, kryptomelane was synthesized by using a synthetic hydrometallurgical tailings. The results show that the studied OMS materials adsorb selectively Cu, Ni, Cd and K in the presence of Ca and Mg. It was also found that the exchange rates were reasonably high due to the small particle dimensions. Materials are stable in the studied conditions and their maximum Cu uptake capacity was 1.3 mmol/g. Competitive uptake of metals and acid was studied using equilibrium, batch kinetic and fixed-bed measurements. The experimental data was correlated with a dynamic model, which also accounts for the dissolution of the framework manganese. Manganese oxide micro-crystals were also bound onto silica to prepare a composite material having a particle size large enough to be used in column separation experiments. The MnOx/SiO2 ratio was found to affect significantly the properties of the composite. The higher the ratio, the lower is the specific surface area, the pore volume and the pore size. On the other hand, higher amount of silica binder gives composites better mechanical properties. Birnesite and todorokite can be aggregated successfully with colloidal silica at pH 4 and with MnO2/SiO2 weight ratio of 0.7. The best gelation and drying temperature was 110oC and sufficiently strong composites were obtained by additional heat-treatment at 250oC for 2 h. The results show that silica–supported MnO2 materials can be utilized to separate copper from nickel and cadmium. The behavior of the composites can be explained reasonably well with the presented model and the parameters estimated from the data of the unsupported oxides. The metal uptake capacities of the prepared materials were quite small. For example, the final copper loading was 0.14 mmol/gMnO2. According to the results the special MnO2 materials are potential for a specific environmental application to uptake harmful metal ions.

Phosphorus and nitrogen cause eutrophication of water bodies, causing severe damage to the ecosystem. Eutrophication of the waters causes oxygen depletion, which in turn increases fish mortality, releasing toxins in waters. The released toxins can cause damage to animals and humans, which is the reason in many countries to set emission limits for waste water. Nutrients exist naturally, but due to human activities there is high nutrient leaching to water bodies. Human activity is one of the main reasons to the eutrophication. The aim of this thesis was to estimate the suitability of different water treatment options for Yara Finland’s fertilizer plant’s process waters in Siilinjärvi. The fertilizer plant process waters are high concentrate and especially nitrogen concentrations are high, which bring challenge to the treatment. At the theoretical part was investigated conventional and as well advanced wastewater treatment methods like reverse osmosis, adsorption and ion exchange. Beside different treatment methods corporate environmental requirements, responsibility and strategies were researched. At the empirical part of the thesis the goal was to find out possibil-ities to intensify the efficiency of purification at lamella clarifier with chemical precipitation. In addition possibility to use already existing chemical purifying plant for process waters was estimated. As a result of the research Yara has a possibility to intensify lamella clarifier’s action by addi-tion of calcium hydroxide and thus to obtain the phosphorus and fluorine to precipitate out of the water. But in practice this would be too expensive. It is possible to eliminate nitrogen compounds by adsorption or ammonia stripping, both methods requires additional testing. It is possible to process waters in chemical purifying plant, if ammonium nitrogen has been reduced before. Reverse osmosis is possible to exploit for the phosphoric acid plant’s waters.

This study is made as a part of the Chembaltic (Risks of Maritime Transportation of Chemicals in Baltic Sea) project which gathers information on the chemicals transported in the Baltic Sea. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of handling volumes of liquid bulk chemicals (including liquefied gases) in the Baltic Sea ports and to find out what the most transported liquid bulk chemicals in the Baltic Sea are. Oil and oil products are also viewed in this study but only in a general level. Oils and oil products may also include chemical-related substances (e.g. certain bio-fuels which belong to MARPOL annex II category) in some cargo statistics. Chemicals in packaged form are excluded from the study. Most of the facts about the transport volumes of chemicals presented in this study are based on secondary written sources of Scandinavian, Russian, Baltic and international origin. Furthermore, statistical sources, academic journals, periodicals, newspapers and in later years also different homepages on the Internet have been used as sources of information. Chemical handling volumes in Finnish ports were examined in more detail by using a nationwide vessel traffic system called PortNet. Many previous studies have shown that the Baltic Sea ports are annually handling more than 11 million tonnes of liquid chemicals transported in bulk. Based on this study, it appears that the number may be even higher. The liquid bulk chemicals account for approximately 4 % of the total amount of liquid bulk cargoes handled in the Baltic Sea ports. Most of the liquid bulk chemicals are handled in Finnish and Swedish ports and their proportion of all liquid chemicals handled in the Baltic Sea is altogether over 50 %. The most handled chemicals in the Baltic Sea ports are methanol, sodium hydroxide solution, ammonia, sulphuric and phosphoric acid, pentanes, aromatic free solvents, xylenes, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethanol and ethanol solutions. All of these chemicals are handled at least hundred thousand tonnes or some of them even over 1 million tonnes per year, but since chemical-specific data from all the Baltic Sea countries is not available, the exact tonnages could not be calculated in this study. In addition to these above-mentioned chemicals, there are also other high volume chemicals handled in the Baltic Sea ports (e.g. ethylene, propane and butane) but exact tonnes are missing. Furthermore, high amounts of liquid fertilisers, such as solution of urea and ammonium nitrate in water, are transported in the Baltic Sea. The results of the study can be considered indicative. Updated information about transported chemicals in the Baltic Sea is the first step in the risk assessment of the chemicals. The chemical-specific transportation data help to target hazard or e.g. grounding/collision risk evaluations to chemicals that are handled most or have significant environmental hazard potential. Data gathered in this study will be used as background information in later stages of the Chembaltic project when the risks of the chemicals transported in the Baltic Sea are assessed to highlight the chemicals that require special attention from an environmental point of view in potential marine accident situations in the Baltic Sea area.

Fertilizer plant’s process waters contain high concentrations of nitrogen compounds, such as ammonium and nitrate. Phosphorus and fluorine, which originate from phosphoric acid and rock phosphate (apatite) used in fertilizer production, are also present. Phosphorus and nitrogen are the primary nutrients causing eutrophication of surface waters. At fertilizer plant process waters are held in closed internal circulation. In a scrubber system process waters are used for washing exhaust gases from fertilizer reactors and dry gases from granulation drums as well as for cooling down the fertilizer slurry in neutralization reactor. Solids in process waters are separated in an inclined plate settler by gravitational sedimentation. However, the operation of inclined plate settler has been inadequate. The aim of this thesis was to intensify the operation of inclined plate settler and thus the solids separation e.g. through coagulation and/or flocculation process. Chemical precipitation was studied to reduce the amount of dissolved species in process waters. Specific interest was in precipitation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and fluorine containing specimens. Amounts of phosphorus and fluorine were reduced significantly by chemical precipitation. When compared to earlier studies, annual chemical costs were almost eight times lower. Instead, nitrogen compounds are readily dissolved in water, thus being difficult to remove by precipitation. Possible alternative techniques for nitrogen removal are adsorption, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis. Settling velocities of pH adjusted and flocculated process waters were sufficient for the operation of inclined plate settler. Design principles of inclined plate settler are also presented. In continuation studies, flow conditions in inclined plate settler should be modelled with computational fluid dynamics and suitability of adsorbents, ion exchange resins, and membranes should be studied in laboratory scale tests.

Glykolien esterit ovat haluttuja pintareaktiivisia aineita. Niitä voidaan valmistaa esteröintireaktiolla karboksyylihappojen kanssa katalyytin läsnä ollessa, jolloin toivottu reaktiotuote on yleensä muodostuva monoesteri. Monoesterin saannon lisäämiseksi reaktiossa muodostuvaa vettä voidaan poistaa jatkuvasti reaktiosta. Reaktion tasapainotilan tutkiminen on kuitenkin tärkeää, jotta reaktion kinetiikka tunnettaisiin mahdollisimman hyvin. Tällöin reaktiotuotteita ei poisteta reaktioseoksesta reaktion aikana. Glykolit esteröityvät happojen kanssa kahdessa vaiheessa. Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa muodostuu monoesteriä ja vettä ja toisessa vaiheessa diesteriä ja vettä. Kokeiden perusteella ensimmäinen vaihe on selvästi toista vaihetta nopeampi reaktio. Kirjallisuudessa on esitetty myös kaksi sivureaktiota, transesteröityminen ja disproportionaatio. Reaktion kinetiikka voidaan kuvata ilman näitä pieniä sivureaktiota, mutta täydellisen kuvaamisen vuoksi on ne myös otettava huomioon. Reaktion kinetiikan tutkimiseksi suoritettiin viisi laboratoriokoetta eri lämpötiloissa neopentyyliglykolilla ja propionihapolla homogeenisen para-tolueenisulfonihapon toimiessa katalyyttina. Lähtöaineiden ja tuotteiden konsentraatioita seurattiin ajan funktiona ja saatujen tulosten perusteella sovitettiin reaktiomekanismin differentiaaliyhtälöiden reaktionopeusvakiot. Nopeusvakioiden lämpötilariippuvuutta tutkittiin Arrheniuksen yhtälön avulla. Lisäksi määritettiin tasapainovakiot kullekin osareaktiolle.
