Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Synthesis of tributyl citrate(TBC) had been studied by using citric acid and n-butanol as reactants and solid superacid SO4/ZnO-TiO2 as a catalyst.The influences of reaction condition on the yield of ester were investigated.The results showed that the optimal conditions were using 1% of catalyst with the molar ration of n-butanol to citric acid being 4.0∶1,at temperature of 130 ℃-140 ℃ for 2.5 h.Under this condition,the maximum yield of ester was over 98%.
