In this study, a sulfonic acid-functionalized KIT-6 silica catalyst was prepared and applied to the transesterification of Brazilian cashew nut oil with butanol. The catalyst was characterized to confirm its structural integrity and ordered structure. The catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity and good recyclability under certain conditions.
In this work, KIT-6 silica functionalized with sulfonic acid by the co-condensation method was prepared and evaluated as a catalyst in the transesterification of Brazilian cashew nut oil (BCNO) with butanol for biodiesel synthesis. The catalyst was characterized by SAXS, TEM, N-2 adsorption-desorption measurements, Si-29 MAS NMR and C-13 CP-MAS NMR to prove the structural integrity of the incorporated organic group and to show the ordered structure, morphology and porosity, respectively. Small-angle XRD confirmed the formation of the mesophase of the synthesized materials. TEM images demonstrated the well-ordered arrangement of the pores and their uniformity throughout the grains, in addition to the highly ordered nature of the cubic mesostructures. The KIT-6 propylsulfonic acid catalyst was able to produce a 70% butyl ester yield, as determined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy in 6 h reaction with a BuOH/BCNO molar ratio of 30:1, 140 degrees C and a 6 wt% of catalyst mass relative to starting oil mass in the reaction. The KIT-6-S catalyst can be reused for two cycles without loss of catalytic activity.
