  • the heterogeneous advantage biodiesel by catalytic reactive distillation
    Topics in Catalysis, 2006
    Co-Authors: Anto A Kiss, Flori Omota, Alexandre C Dimia, Gadi Rothenberg
    Abstract:

    The incentives for using biodiesel as renewable fuel and the difficulties associated with its production are outlined. The pros and cons of manufacturing biodiesel via fatty acid esterification using solid acid Catalysts are investigated. Finding a Suitable Catalyst that is active, selective, and stable under the process conditions is the major challenge. The most promising candidates were found to be the sulfated metal oxides that can be used to develop a sustainable esterification process based on catalytic reactive distillation.

  • solid acid Catalysts for biodiesel production towards sustainable energy
    Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, 2006
    Co-Authors: Anto A Kiss, Alexandre C Dimian, Gadi Rothenberg
    Abstract:

    The advantages of biodiesel as an alternative fuel and the problems involved in its manufacturing are outlined. The pros and cons of making biodiesel via fatty acid esterification using solid acid Catalysts are examined. The main problem is finding a Suitable Catalyst that is active, selective, and stable under the process conditions. Various solid acids (zeolites, ion-exchange resins, and mixed metal oxides) are screened as Catalysts in the esterification of dodecanoic acid with 2-ethylhexanol, 1-propanol, and methanol at 130–180 °C. The most promising candidate is found to be sulphated zirconia. The Catalyst's stability towards thermal decomposition and leaching is tested and the effects of the surface composition and structure on the catalytic activity are discussed.
