Kinetic Study of Pigment Red 254 Synthesis Reaction Using Ionic Liquid [BMIM][BF4] Catalyst

In chemical reaction engineering viewpoint, kinetic study is essential for design and optimization of chemical process and their intermediates. Kinetic parameters are utilized to scale-up of laboratorial experimental results to industrial scale data. Herein, kinetic study of Pigment Red 254 synthesis procedure in ionic liquid media has been studied. The produced pigment was followed by UV-Vis spectra during the reaction. Reaction rate equations were derived from integral method. The results confirm that the reaction has concurrence to micro-kinetics with shift order reaction.
