Гетерогенно-каталітична трансестерифікація триолеату гліцерину в полі ультразвукових хвиль

Abstract

The reaction transesterification of glycerol trioleate with butane-1-ol in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst – ferric oxide (II) has been investigated. The effect of the previous ultrasonic treatment of catalyst and continuous ultrasound during transesterification reactions has been investigated. The using of ultrasonic vibrations in the temperature range 363–388K can increase the conversion of glycerol trioleate have been established. The application of ultrasonic vibrations at temperatures above 373K significantly increases the conversion of glycerol trioleate compared to the reaction under the same conditions but without ultrasound has been investigated. The application of ultrasonic vibrations at 383-388K can increase the conversion of glycerol trioleate from 59.2% to 69.6% and from 61.3% to 72.3% in accordance. The implementation reaction at excess pressure leads to a sharp decrease in conversion of glycerol trioleate compared to a process without ultrasound has been shown. The bubbling nitrogen through the reaction mixture eliminates the effect of the using of ultrasonic vibrations has been found. The conversion of glycerol trioleate while bubbling nitrogen in the field of ultrasonic waves is close to that which is achieved without the us ing of ultrasound. Pretreatment catalyst – ferric oxide (II) – ultrasonic waves are not effective has been established. The catalyst that has been treated with ultrasonic vibrations and kept 1–4 days, the act almost as a catalyst that not treated been of ultrasound, has been shown. Thus that the using of ultrasonic waves is an effective way to increase the activity of heterogeneous catalytic reactions transesterification has been established.
