Ferreira, Aurelia R. O.; Silvestre-Albero, Joaquin; Maier, Martin E.; Ricardo, Nagila M. P. S.; Cavalcante, Celio L. Jr.; Luna, F. Murilo T. published the artcile< Sulfonated activated carbons as potential catalysts for biolubricant synthesis>, HPLC of Formula: 104-76-7, the main research area is sulfonated activated carbon potential catalyst biolubricant synthesis.
In this study, sulfonated activated carbons have been prepared, under different conditions, with the purpose of evaluating the effect of the nature and amount of sulfonic surface groups on the esterification reaction of free fatty acids (FFA) with different long-chain alcs. The synthesized catalysts were characterized using different techniques and 1H NMR was used for monitoring the reaction products. The modifications of the surface functionalities were assessed by XPS and Thermogravimetric anal. (TGA), while changes in the porous network and morphol. of the samples were evaluated before and after the treatment of the original activated carbon sample. XPS results showed the presence of two types of sulfur, one from thiophenic sulfur (present on all materials, including the unmodified sample), and the other from sulfonic groups (SO3H), at 168 eV (present only in the modified samples). These catalysts were applied in the esterification reaction and presented excellent catalytic performances, while the original activated carbon exhibited conversions similar to reactions without any catalyst. On the other hand, the conversion of fatty acids when using the modified carbons improves significantly with values up to ∼100% to mono alcs. and 70% to trimethylolpropane.
