Abstract
A lower fatty acid ester such as ethyl acetate or ethyl acrylate is prepared by a process in which a lower fatty acid such as acetic acid or acrylic acid is reacted with a lower olefin such as ethylene by using as solid catalyst a heteropoly-acid or its salt. The esterification is carried out in gaseous phase.
