Fecha de publicación: | 1-ene-2018 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Fuel 211: 173-181 (2018) | Resumen: | There is still a need for active, selective and stable heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of biodiesel. In this work, magnesium-aluminium hydrotalcites with Mg/Al molar ratios within the 1.5–5 range were synthesized by coprecipitation and used as transesterification catalysts for the synthesis of biodiesel. The mixed oxides obtained after calcination recovered the hydrotalcite structure in the form of meixnerite after rehydration in boiling water. The solids were characterized by XRD, TGA, N adsorption-desorption, and SEM. Basic properties were assessed by means of Hammett indicators and CO-TPD. Rehydrated materials with the highest Mg/Al ratios showed some distinctive features: low surface area, well defined flake-like crystals, high basicity and strong basic sites with H_ values above 11. They were also the most active catalysts allowing to achieve 51–75% sunflower oil methanolysis conversion after 8 h of reaction under mild conditions (60 °C, 1 atm), methanol/oil molar ratio of 12 using between 2 and 6 wt% of catalyst. The conversion increased up to 96% (92% fatty acid methyl esters yield) using 2 wt% catalyst and methanol/oil molar ratio of 48. Catalyst leaching was not a serious problem with these solids that could be reutilized maintaining very good activities. A general accordance between solids basic properties and their catalytic performance has been observed. These results are among the best reported in the literature for heterogeneous methanolysis catalysts and have been attributed to the high basicity of the rehydrated solids and the presence of strong and accessible basic sites probably consisting in interlayer hydroxide anions at the edges of the crystals. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2017.09.061 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/193658 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.fuel.2017.09.061 | ISSN: | 0016-2361 |
