Malpani, Sakshi Kabra published the artcileA Greener Route for Synthesis of Fly Ash Supported Heterogeneous Acid Catalyst, Application of Benzyl acetate, the main research area is fly ash esterification Friedel Crafts alkylation structural thermal property.
Fly ash, a solid byproduct obtained from coal-fired thermal power plants, is basically a silico-aluminate material having varying minor amounts of other metal oxides. For suitable bulk utilization of this solid waste, a novel kind of solid acid catalyst has been successfully synthesized by employing microwave assisted greener route. For enhancing the efficacy, amorphous silica was extracted from fly ash in a cost-effective manner which was further chem. activated with H2SO4. Various anal. techniques were utilized to study physico-chem. properties of the as-prepared catalyst, while the catalytic activity was tested by a serious of microwave assisted esterification and Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions under optimized reaction conditions. Higher yield of products attributes to the presence of significant number of Bronsted acidic sites on catalyst, also proved by Pyridine adsorbed FT-IR spectrum of catalyst. The catalyst was recovered and reused up to five reaction cycles with similar competence as in first run which deliberates its stability during the course of reaction.
