This article reports a scalable process development for the production of alkyl esters through the esterification route by utilizing fly ash as a catalyst. The catalyst consisting of mixed oxides such as alumina, iron oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and silica was employed for the esterification reaction without modification. The catalyst was evaluated for the conversion of feedstock containing variable amounts of free fatty acids, mono/dibasic acid, and alc./polyols into the corresponding alkyl esters. Three types of fly ash catalysts, viz., FS-1, FP-1, and FC-1, were chosen from three different industrial sources. Synthesis of di-Me adipate was studied as a model reaction. FS-1 fly ash gave the highest yield of di-Me adipate, whereas FC-1 gave a low yield of di-Me adipate. The recyclability of FS-1 was evaluated for three cycles, and no loss of yield was observed Furthermore, the catalyst FS-I was found to be capable of producing good yields for various esterification reactions with different substrates.
