Phase equilibrium measurements for systems containing propanenitrile with tert-butyl ethyl ether and C4-hydrocarbons

“…Propanenitrile deactivates the etherification catalyst through hydrolysis reactions, where propanamide is formed on the catalyst surface in presence of methanol and water. Acid sites on the catalyst are lost, and the catalyst is deactivated [2][3][4][5].…”
