Kinetic Modeling of Maleic Acid Isomerization to Fumaric Acid Catalyzed by Thiourea Determined by Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Fumaric acid (FA) is an important commodity in the food and polymer industries; its main route of production is the chemical synthesis from maleic acid (MA). In this work, the isomerization of MA t...
