Notes:
The kinetics of reaction between cardanol and formaldehyde when catalyzed by an alkali, sodium hydroxide, has been studied and effects of process parameters, e.g., cardanol formaldehyde molal ratio, catalyst concentration, and temperature have been investigated. The addition reaction has been shown to be a second-order reaction when the concentration of active positions of reactants is used instead of their molar concentrations. Specific reaction rate constants have been determined for various cardanol-formaldehyde molal ratios, catalyst concentrations, and reaction temperatures. The energy of activation, E, is found to be 67.541 MJ/kg-mol (16.132 kcal/mol). The correlation between overall reaction rate constant and the process parameters has also been developed.
