The　effects　of　stirring　speed,　catalyst　particle　size,　temperature,　catalyst　dosage　and　molar　ratio　of　acetic　acid　to　butanol　on　the　synthesis　of　n-butyl　acetate　from　acetic　acid　and　n-butanol　over　A-36　cation-exchange　resin　catalyst　were　investigated　and　the　kinetic　model　LHHW　was　used　to.　process　the　experimental　data.　The　results　showed　that　the　surface　reaction　was　the　control　step　of　esterification　of　acetic　acid　and　72-butanol,　and　the　reaction　enthalpy　was　-1.838　×　104　J/mol.　The　forward　and　reverse　reaction　activation　energies　were　5.283　×　104　J/mol　and　3.929　×　104　J/mol,　respectively,　and　the　preexponential　factors　were　1.015　×　104　mol/(g·s)　and　3.148　mol/(g·s),　respectively.
