The synthesis of sulphonated hypercrosslinked exchange resin for free fatty acid esterification

Esterification has been extensively used as a pretreatment process in biodiesel production to reduce the free fatty acid (FFA) content in the feedstock. This study investigates the potential of sulphonated hypercrosslinked exchange resin (SHER), a newly synthesised catalyst for the esterification re...

description Esterification has been extensively used as a pretreatment process in biodiesel production to reduce the free fatty acid (FFA) content in the feedstock. This study investigates the potential of sulphonated hypercrosslinked exchange resin (SHER), a newly synthesised catalyst for the esterification reaction. The experimental works were divided into two stages: (1) the synthesis and characterisation of the catalyst and (2) screening study on the esterification of FFAs in used cooking oil (UCO) using different types of ion-exchange resins.

The excellent catalytic performance of SHER is due to the high specific surface area that allows FFA molecules to easily access their active sites.
