Rao, A. V. R. Krishna; Dudhe, Premansh; Chelvam, Venkatesh published the artcile< Role of oxygen defects in basicity of Se doped ZnO nanocatalyst for enhanced triglyceride transesterification in biodiesel production>, Synthetic Route of 112-63-0, the main research area is biodiesel production triglyceride transesterification catalyst selenium doped zinc oxide.
We report herein, Se doped ZnO nanorods, a new heterogeneous base catalyst for transesterification of vegetable oil to fatty Me esters (FAME) or biodiesel. Surface area defects, mainly oxygen interstitials and oxygen vacancies, in the crystal lattice play essential role in enhancing basic site reactivity. The optimum transesterification reaction condition was found to be usage of 1:20 oil to methanol volume ratio, 5 weight% catalyst load, 65掳C as reaction temperature to give a maximum yield of 94.7% FAME in 3 h. The nanocatalyst was recyclable without loss of FAME yield and can be used for industrial scale biodiesel production
Catalysis Communications published new progress about Basicity. 112-63-0 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C19H34O2, Synthetic Route of 112-63-0.
