Sulfated zirconia (SZr) solid acid catalyst, prepared by conventional precipitation technique was studied for esterification of palmitic acid with methanol to synthesize methyl palmitate. The catalyst exhibited 90% yield of methyl palmitate at 60°C over 6wt% catalyst. The yield was significantly higher under solvent-free conditions than using hexane as a solvent. The alkyl palmitate yield was decreased...
The esterification of palmitic acid with methanol was studied over mesoporous sulfated zirconia (SZ) solid acid catalyst, prepared by using CTAB cationic surfactant as a template. The effect of various reaction parameters has been studied. The catalyst showed an excellent activity with 88–90% yield of methyl palmitate at 60°C after 5–7h. The reaction follows pseudo-first order kinetics under the reaction...
