The three-dimensional configuration of the ester heterocycle is basically the same as that of the carbocycle. Compound: 4-(Hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one(SMILESS: O=C1OCC(CO)O1,cas:931-40-8) is researched.SDS of cas: 39901-94-5. The article 《MgxAl-LDHs layered double hydroxides catalysts for boosting catalytic synthesis of biodiesel and conversion of by-product into valuable glycerol carbonate》 in relation to this compound, is published in Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers. Let’s take a look at the latest research on this compound (cas:931-40-8).
A series of layered double hydroxides (MgxAl-LDHs) catalysts is successfully prepared and effectively transesterificated triglycerides to produce biodiesel and glycerol carbonate, resp. MgxAl-LDHs catalysts are synthesized by changing the Mg/Al ratio of the LDH hosts and fully characterized by several techniques, including XRD, N2 adsorption, SEM. The effects of ratios of Mg/Al catalyst, reaction temperature, catalyst dosage are thoroughly investigated to determine the optimal reaction conditions. A yield of biodiesel and glycerol carbonate could reach up to 87.5% and 93.4%, resp., over Mg5Al-LDHs catalyst under batch condition. The transesterification glycerol for glycerol carbonate is successfully carried out in a stirring packed-bed reactor with MgxAl-LDHs coating on the spherical α-Al2O3 catalysts. Addnl., extra-particle mass transfer and intra-particle diffusion do not control the reaction rate. The yield of glycerol carbonate could reach up to 80.2% over Mg5Al-LDHs/α-Al2O3 catalyst.
