In this study, a solid acid catalyst was prepared by using functionalized copolymer for the esterification reaction of methacrylic acid and methanol. The catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity and good stability under the optimized conditions.
High yield of methyl methacrylate was gained by using ionic liquid functionalized copolymer of ethylene dimethacrylate and 4-vinylbenzyl. The solid acid catalyst (VEM-ILs) was obtained through quaternary ammonization on the tetraethylene-pentamine-functionalized copolymer with 1,3-propanesultone and HSO3CF3. The acid amount of VEM-ILs was 1.46 mmol/g. The surface area and pore volume of VEM-ILs were 11.1 m(2)/g and 0.04 cm(3)/g. To appraise the catalytic activity of the catalyst, the esterification between methacrylic acid and methanol was implemented. The optimized condition was as follows: 21.15 wt% catalyst dosage based on the weight of methacrylic acid, 90 degrees C, MAA to MeOH ratio of 1:1.5 and 3 h reaction time. Under the optimal condition, the yield of ester reached 76.5%. After four times use, the catalyst still exhibited a good catalytic effect. [GRAPHICS] .
