What is Esterification of Palmitic Acid With Methanol Over Template-Assisted about?
The study investigates the esterification of palmitic acid with methanol using a mesoporous sulfated zirconia (SZ) solid acid catalyst, achieving an 88-90% yield of methyl palmitate at 60°C within 5-7 hours. The reaction follows pseudo-first order kinetics, demonstrating comparable activity to conventional Brönsted acids and outperforming various other heterogeneous catalysts. This research highlights the potential of SZ catalyst for eco-friendly biodiesel production from high free fatty acid content feedst
