Abstract

Activity of Cu catalysts and kinetics of ethynylation of formaldehyde using Cu2C2 catalyst has been studied. The reaction was found to be 0.41 and 0.58 order with respect to acetylene and formaldehyde concentrations, respectively. The activation energy of the reaction was found to be 15.13 kcal/mol.
