Abstract

The esterification of several cyclic olefins with saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids has been studied over highly dispersed strongly acidic ion-exchange resins based on Nafion, where the Nafion is entrapped within a porous silica matrix. Over these new catalysts the accessibility of the acid sites is much improved, in comparison to the original material. The activity has been compared to that of Amberlyst 15. The Nafion-based catalyst materials are superior to the weaker acidity Amberlyst catalysts when less active olefins are used and especially at low temperatures.

Competitive double bond isomerization and competitive esterification of C8 to C18 linear 1-alkenes on amberlyst®15 catalyst: Calculation of relative adsorption coefficients in two concurrent reactions
2023, Applied Catalysis A: General
Relative initial reaction rates for both double bond isomerization and direct esterification with heptanoic acid were determined for the series of linear 1-alkenes from 1-octene to 1-octadecene. In competitive reactions between two 1-alkenes on Amberlyst®15 catalyst at 90 °C, rates for both double bond isomerization and esterification decreased with increasing carbon chain length. Data suggested each 1-alkene had two different adsorption coefficients on the catalyst, one for an isomerization site and one for a site for the addition reaction. Results were consistent with previous data suggesting that Amberlyst®15 catalyst has two different types of active sites.
Various methods for enhancement in heterogeneous catalysed biodiesel production reaction rate
2023, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society
The biodiesel can be produced by transesterification and esterification reaction with edible and non-edible oil respectively. These reactions are catalysed by both homogeneous and heterogenous catalyst. The transesterification reactions for heterogeneous catalysts proceed at a relatively slow rate. The heterogeneous reaction mixture constitutes a three-phase system, oil/alcohol/catalyst therefore the mass transfer limitation controls the reaction rate. In the present study Tetra-hydrofuran, Hexane and Heptane as co-solvent have been tested for the transesterification and esterification reaction. Tetra-hydrofuran, assists in decreasing the mass transfer between the oil and methanol phases. Tetra-hydrofuran was found to be the best co-solvent. It also represents that the presence of Tetra-hydrofuran only enhance the solubility of phases not final equilibrium yield. Results are compared with homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysed reaction. Ultrasonic irradiation influenced the mixing of the reaction mixture and resulted in higher yields, for each co-solvent case.
Production of biodiesel using palm oil
2019, Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals: Biofuels: Alternative Feedstocks and Conversion Processes for the Production of Liquid and Gaseous Biofuels
For the past few years, advance research and development on biofuels production from renewable sources has been vehemently growing due to excessive burning of fossil fuel that caused several environmental issues, such as global warming. In addition, unstable petroleum price in the global market has accelerated the expansion of renewable biofuel industry, especially countries with abundant of oil-bearing or sugar-based crops. The use of biodiesel has been widely recognized due to its significant contributions in the reduction of greenhouse gases emission, specifically in transportation sector. Up to date, biodiesel can be derived from various oil-bearing crops (edible or nonedible) such as soybean, rapeseed, palm, sunflower, Jatropha curcas, and microalgae. This chapter focuses on palm biodiesel conversion technologies, including homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic, noncatalytic supercritical alcohol, and ultrasound transesterification. Besides, optimum conditions, advantages, and limitations for each of the technology are discussed in detail. It is hoped that this chapter can provide a platform to researchers, policy makers, and industrial planners to synergize the opportunity of palm biodiesel production.
Synthesis and characterization of a new hydroxyl functionalized diacidic ionic liquid as catalyst for the preparation of diester plasticizers
2017, Journal of Molecular Liquids
Two new functionalized diacidic ionic liquids (FDAILs) including hydroxyl functionalized diacidic ionic liquid (HFDAIL) and sulfonated diacidic ionic liquid (SFDAIL) were synthesized and characterized by ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR and FT-IR. The catalytic activities of these FDAILs were examined in esterification reaction of anhydrides with some alcohols to give corresponding dialkyl plasticizers under solvent-free conditions. The results indicate that HFDAIL, as hydroxyl-bearing catalyst, show better catalytic performance. Under the optimum conditions, using HFDAIL, the conversion of phthalic anhydride was high and diester plasticizers were obtained with good to excellent yields in the presence of only 10 mol% of ionic liquid. All the produced diesters could be easily recovered due to their immiscibility with the ionic liquid. Recycling experiments suggests that these ionic liquids can be reused several times without remarkable loss in their catalytic activity.
An efficient and sustainable production of triacetin from the acetylation of glycerol using magnetic solid acid catalysts under mild conditions

For avoiding these problems, the acetylation of glycerol with acetic acid was extensively studied in the presence of solid catalysts [3,7,8]. Generally, the used heterogeneous catalysts included the acid exchange resins [9–11], K-10 montmorillonite, HZSM-5 [3], HUSY [8], niobium-zirconium mixed oxides [12], PMo-NaUSY [13], supported heteropolyacids [14–16], mesoporous silica [17], and sulfonic acid functionalized deoxycellulose [18], sulfated zirconia and niobic acid [19] etc. Particularly, the cation-exchange resins showed the high catalytic activity as well as the selectivity of higher esters where the triacetin are lower compared to diacetin.
The efficient and selective acetylation of glycerol to produce triacetin is achieved using magnetic solid acids as catalysts. The Fe-based materials including Fe-Sn-Ti (OH)_x, Fe-Sn-Ti(SO₄²⁻) and Fe-Sn-Ti(SO₄²⁻)-t (t represents the temperature for the heating treatment) were successfully prepared and employed in the acetylation of glycerol, respectively. As a result, 100% conversion and 99.0% selectivity for triacetin was obtained in the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe-Sn-Ti(SO₄²⁻)-400 at 80 °C for 30 min, which exhibits higher catalytic activity than those of some molecular sieves. The magnetic catalytic materials were respectively characterized by XRD, IR, TG-DTG, BET and NH₃-TPD techniques. Moreover, the effects of reaction temperature and reaction time in the glycerol acetylation are investigated in detail. Finally, based on the experimental results and reaction phenomena, a possible mechanism for the catalytic reaction is proposed.
Controlled methyl-esterification of pectin catalyzed by cation exchange resin
2016, Carbohydrate Polymers
Citation Excerpt :
These results suggest that the overall structure of AHP-RG was not changed upon methyl-esterification using either methyl iodide or cation exchange resin. Cation exchange resins are often used for esterification (Chen, Xu, Okuhara, & Toshio, 1999; Harmer & Sun, 2001; Heidekum, Harmer, & Hoelderich, 1999; Yadav & Thathagar, 2002) and trans-esterification reactions (Dos Reis, Lachter, Nascimento, Rodrigues Jr., & Reid, 2005) in organic syntheses of small molecules, due to its non-corrosive properties and ease of separation. In the present study, cation exchange resin was used to catalyze the methyl-esterification of carboxylates in pectins, with its efficiency being compared to commonly used methods with methyl iodide and acidified methanol.
This study developed a new method to methyl-esterify pectin using a cation exchange resin. Homogalacturonan (HG)-type pectin (WGPA-3-HG) and rhamnogalacturonan (RG)-I-type pectin (AHP-RG) obtained from the roots of Panax ginseng and sunflower heads, respectively, were used as models. Compared to commonly used methyl-esterification methods that use either methyl iodide or acidified methanol, the developed method can methyl-esterify both HG- and RG-I-type pectins without degrading their structures via β-elimination or acid hydrolysis. In addition, by modifying reaction conditions, including the mass ratio of resin to pectin, reaction time, and temperature, the degree of esterification can be controlled. Moreover, the resin and methanol can be recycled to conserve resources, lower costs, and reduce environmental pollution. This new methodology will be highly useful for industrial esterification of pectin.
