Abstract:In order to find a way for mildly synthesizing magnetic carbonaceous solid acid catalyst from biomass, pomelo peel was used to prepare a new magnetic carbonaceous solid acid catalyst for catalytic esterification reaction of oleic acid and ethanol, which was selected as model for producing biodiesel. The structure characteristics for the prepared catalysts were identified by FT-IR, XRD and TGA. The results showed that when the reaction temperature was 80 ℃, the catalyst mass was 7% of oleic acid, the ratio of oil to alcohol was 1∶20 and reaction duration was 8 h, the esterification rates of MPC-0.4-SO3H and MPC-0.8-SO3H reached 68.0% and 68.8%, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of the commercial amberlyst-15. Both catalysts had good water resistance and high stability, the esterification rates of three or four times-reused catalysts were still higher than or close to the value of amberlyst-15. The activation energies of both solid acids were low. From the analysis, it is known that the two catalysts have good water resistance and high stability, compared with amberlyst-15, the rate constants of MPC-0.4-SO3H and MPC-0.8-SO3H were higher in catalytic reactions, and which presents good application prospects in biodiesel synthesis. Key words:biomass-carbonaceous solid acid catalyst/ esterification/ catalytic activity.
