Hermida, Lilis (2012) Monoglyceride synthesis through glycerol esterification with lauric acid over a propyl sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous catalyst (HSO3SBA-15) was studied under reduced pressure to continuously remove water formed. Effects of various reaction parameters such as reaction temperature (413–433 K), catalyst loading (1–5%) and glycerol/lauric acid molar ratio (2:1 and 4:1) on lauric acid conversion and products selectivity were successfully elucidated and correlated with reaction scheme and kinetic model. The parent and functionalized SBA-15 were characterized using FT-IR, ammonia chemisorptions, surface analysis, TEM and SEM. Reusability behavior of the catalyst was also demonstrated. Glycerol esterification could be modeled as irreversible parallel reactions and the kinetic data were successfully fitted to a second order kinetic model. The apparent activation energy for monoglyceride formation using a catalyst loading of 5% and glycerol/lauric acid molar ratio of 4:1 was found to be 42 kJ/mol. The HSO3SBA-15 catalyst could be reused up to four times without significant loss of catalytic activity. Journal of Porous Materials, 19. pp. 835-846. ISSN 1573-4854

Abstract

A series of propyl sulfonic acid-modified SBA- 15 catalysts (SBA-15SO3H) was prepared under various conditions using post-functionalization approach. A factorial design coupled with response surface analysis were employed to evaluate the effects of the preparation conditions on the catalyst activity. Optimization of the conditions to find the most active SBA-15SO3H catalyst with the highest activity in glycerol esterification with lauric acid at 160 �C for 6 h was also made. Amount of 3-(mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and reflux time were chosen as parameters of the preparation conditions. The presence of propyl sulfonic acid groups in SBA- 15SO3H catalysts was confirmed by FT-TIR method. The catalysts were also characterized by means of surface analysis, XRD, TEM and TGA. The results obtained from the statistical models suggested that the amount of MPTMS was more important parameter to influence the activity compared to the reflux time. The optimum preparation condition was achieved at a reflux time of 20 h and an MPTMS amount of 1 mL/gram SBA-15 to obtain the SBA- 15SO3H(1) with the highest monoglyceride selectivity (70.2%) and corresponding lauric acid conversion (95%) in the esterification process.
