Abstract：The performance of esterification of camphene for isobornyl acetate over self-prepared strip catalyst with industrial original particle size Æ3 mm×3 mm in a fixed bed tube reactor was studied. Macro-kinetics for esterification of camphene were obtained from the experimental data under different conditions using the power-low kinetics model with the nonlinear least squares method. The results showed that the apparent activation energy for esterification of camphene was 47.225 kJ/mol, and the reaction orders for camphene and acetic acid concentration were 0.15 and 0.50, respectively. The residual error distributions and the statistic tests showed that the proposed macro-kinetic models are reliable and adequate.
