Zirconia-supported tungstophosphoric heteropolyacid as heterogeneous acid catalyst for biodiesel production

A series of materials based on the immobilization of the 12-tungstophosphoric heteropolyacid over zirconia supports have been prepared and applied as heterogeneous acid catalysts in the esterification of palmitic acid with methanol as a model reaction for the preliminary stage of the biodiesel produ...

The sample with a 30% mass percentage of heteropolyacid has been identified as the most efficient catalyst because it affords conversions above the 90% and shows the lower loss of activity over successive reaction runs among all of our materials. This loss of activity has been analyzed on the basis of the leaching of the catalyst and the fouling of the materials.This work was financially supported by Generalitat Valenciana through FEDER funds (grant PROMETEO2/2014/010) and by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (grant CTQ2015-64801-R).
