Zirconium phenyl phosphonate phosphite as a highly active, reusable, solid acid catalyst for producing fatty acid polyol esters

The application of zirconium phenyl phosphonate phosphite (ZrPP) as a solid acid catalyst for producing polyol esters by esterification of glycerol or trimethylolpropane with a fatty acid (C8-C18.1) is reported for the first time. ZrPP exhibits high catalytic activity and in particular, (di + tri) esters selectivity (92.3 mol%). These esters of polyols are known for their application as biolubricants. The catalyst prepared using phosphorous acid to phenyl phosphonic acid molar ratio of 3:1 was found superior. The influence of process parameters on activity and selectivity of the catalyst was investigated. ZrPP was reusable in at least three recycling experiments. Hydrophobicity due to exposed phenyl groups on the surface is the possible cause for superior esterification activity of this novel, solid catalyst.
