Production of Valuable Esters from Oleic Acid with a Porous Polymeric Acid Catalyst without Water Removal

Abstract We demonstrate the use of porous phenolsulfonic acid–formaldehyde (PSF) resins as solid-acid catalysts, which showed excellent performance in the esterification of fatty acids without using any solvent or introducing a water-removal process. The catalyst was reused up to 30 times without si...

Description
Summary:Abstract We demonstrate the use of porous phenolsulfonic acid–formaldehyde (PSF) resins as solid-acid catalysts, which showed excellent performance in the esterification of fatty acids without using any solvent or introducing a water-removal process. The catalyst was reused up to 30 times without significant loss of activity.
