The kinetics of limonene epoxidation catalyzed by PW-Amberlite under triphasic conditions is described. A mechanistic pathway was postulated, and a heterogeneous kinetic model was derived following pseudo-stationary-state theory. Using adsorption parameters that were estimated from independent binary adsorption experiments, the resulting kinetic model fitted the experimental data quite well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
