[0006] The type of reaction in the method of the present invention is a gas phase reaction. In a gas phase reaction, it is necessary to make a large excess of a lower olefin relative to a lower fatty acid. Reaction pressure is 0
In the range of 10 to 10 kg / cm 2 G, the pressure is much lower than the pressure of 10 to 150 kg / cm 2 G in the liquid phase reaction. The reaction temperature is preferably in the range of 50 to 300C, particularly preferably 100 to 250C. If the reaction temperature is lower than 50 ° C., the reaction rate becomes slow, and the space-time yield remarkably decreases. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 300 ° C., by-products increase and the catalyst life is shortened.
Alcohol is generated in the presence of water in the gas phase reaction, although the reason is not clear.
%, The catalyst life is prolonged. In the gas phase reaction, the mixed gas is used under a standard condition at a space velocity (SV) of 100 to 5000 h -1 , particularly 300 to 200 h -1 .
It is preferred to pass through the catalyst at 0 hr -1 .
