Abstract:With salicylic acid and acetic anhydride as raw material,and potassium aluminum sulfate to weak acid as a catalyst,the acetylsalicylic acid can be synthesized easily.The experimental results show that:the reaction temperature,reaction time,catalyst amount,the ratio of salicylic acid,acetic anhydride and other factors are influential to that.The best reaction conditions are:0.6g catalyst,n(acid):n(acetic anhydride)= 1.0:2.0,constant temperature at 70 degrees,30min reaction time,with optimal reaction conditions,the acetyl acid production rate was 77.8%.The results also show that the production rate is higher with the aluminum potassium sulfate as a catalyst than that with concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst,and product color is white,and with high purity.
