Tungstophosphoric acid (PW), molybdophosphoric acid (PMo) and tungstosilicic acid (SiW) immobilized on SBA-15 were used, as catalysts, in the esterification of palmitic acid with methanol, at 60 ◦C. Catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, ICP-AES and TEM. All catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity in palmitic acid esterification with methanol. It was observed that the cataly...
The methoxylation of a-pinene was studied using heteropolyacids immobilized on silica as catalysts, at 60 ºC, being the a-terpinyl methyl ether the main product. Tungstophosphoric acid (PW), molybdophosphoric acid (PMo), tungstosilicic acid (SiW) and molybdosilicic acid (SiMo) were immobilized on silica by sol–gel method. It was observed that the catalytic activity of the silica-supported heteropolyacids decrea...
The esterification of glycerol with acetic acid was carried out over dodecamolybdophosphoric acid (PMo) encaged in the USY zeolite. The products of glycerol acetylation were monoacetin, diacetin and triacetin. A series of PMo encaged in the NaUSY zeolite with different PMo loading from 0.6 to 5.4 wt.% were prepared. It was observed that the catalytic activity increases with the amount of PMo immobilized in the ...
The methoxylation of a -pinene was studied using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) containing sulfonic acid groups as catalysts. These groupswere introduced by the direct reaction between –OH groups of PVA and sulfosuccinic acid (SSA). Poly(vinyl alcohol) catalysts were prepared using sulfosuccinic acid by varying the amount of SSA (5–40 mol%). It was observed that the amount of acid sites increases with amount of SSA....
The esterification of palmitic acid with methanol was studied using tungstophosphoric acid (PW), molibdophosphoric acid (PMo) and tungstosilicic acid (SiW) immobilized by sol–gel technique on silica, at 60 º C. It was observed that the catalytic activity decreases in the series: PW-silica > SiW-silica > PMo-silica. A series of PW immobilized on silica with different PW loadings from 2.5 wt.% to 8.4 wt.% were pr...
Beta zeolite with Si/Al ratio equal to 40 was synthesised and used as solid catalyst in acetoxylation of camphene. The main product of camphene acetoxylation was isobornyl acetate being also formed bornyl acetate and fenchyl acetate. Effects of various parameters, such as reactant molar ratio, reaction temperature, catalysts loading and reusability of the catalyst were studied to optimise the reaction condition...
