METHOD FOR PREPARING ESTER COMPOUND USING SULFONIC ACID OR SULFONATE CATALYSTS

The present invention provides a manufacturing method of an ester compound, which obtains an ester compound by using any one of sulfonic acid and sulfonate as a catalyst and performing an esterification reaction of polyhydric alcohol and fatty acid. Accordingly, the method has excellent activities in comparison with the existing acid catalyst, thereby efficiently manufacturing a polyhydric fatty acid ester compound during rapid reaction time even with a small amount. In addition, the method has the advantages of easily filtering a perfluorosulfonic acid catalyst from a reaction mixture after an ester reaction, and reusing the same by drying.(AA) CF3SO3H(9mg) example 1(BB) CF3SO3H(3mg) example 3(CC) CF3SO3H(12mg) example 5(DD) Nafion NR-50(25mg) example 7(EE) Twice-reused nafion NR-50(25mg) example 9(FF) Not using comparative example 1(GG) CF3SO3H(18mg) example 2(HH) CF3SO3H(18mg) example 2(II) CF3SO3H(2mg) example 6(JJ) Once-reused nafion NR-50(25mg) example 8(KK) Nafion-Sc(25mg) example 10(LL) PTSA(3.8mg) comparative example 2(MM) Triester production rate(%)(NN) TimeCOPYRIGHT KIPO 2016

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.
