1. On the basis of a kinetic study of the disproportionation reaction for diethyl and dipropyl ethers in the presence of Al2O3 and Al2O3-HCl, a kinetic equation has been obtained, giving a good description of the experimental data. 2. A staged reaction scheme is proposed on the assumption that the reaction is a chain process; this scheme takes into account the interaction of the original substances and the intermediate species with the acidic centers of the catalyst. This scheme leads to a kinetic equation that coincides with the experimentally determined equation. © 1982 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
