Modelling of a reaction network. Ammonia with n-butanol gas-phase catalyzed by zinc oxide

Gas-phase reaction between 1-butanol and ammonia, at 360-400°C of temperature interval and atmospheric pressure, catalyzed by zinc oxide is studied. Kinetic equations for a reaction network, involving 1-butanol, ammonia, butanal, 1-butanamine, butanitrile and n-butylpro-pylmethanimine are determined. A method for parameter estimation of kinetics of reaction networks, using a reaction rate set of equations, is applied.
