A green and efficient solid acid catalyst from coal fly ash for Fischer esterification reaction
E-mail:
A green and efficient solid acid catalyst (SAC) has been synthesized upon modification of F-type fly ash using ortho-phosphoric acid (35 wt. %). Catalyst characterization has been accomplished using different analytical techniques, such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDS, and BET surface area analysis. SAC possessed excellent catalytic activity for Fischer esterification reaction between 4-aminobenzoic acid and methanol at 95 ℃ to produce methyl 4-aminobenzoate (MAB), an important precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs, (±) martinelline, and (±) martinellic acid. This investigation suggests the utilization of fly ash to develop novel solid acid catalyst system for catalyzing industrially important esterification reaction.
