Preparation of Nano Particles Sulfated Titania Catalyst Aerogel for Synthesis of Glycerol Mono Oleate (Gmo)

Abstract: Catalysts nanoparticle sulfated titania aerogel have been prepared through one-step synthesis by the sol-gel method using sulfuric acid as catalyst followed by the one-step CO₂ supercritical extraction.  The catalysts were tested in reaction of oleic acid with glycerol to produce glycerol mono oleate (GMO). Thermal evolution of the gels was evaluated by TGA-DTA, N₂ adsorption, TEM and XRD, and the IR absorption spectra measurements were made to discuss the structure of sulfated titania.  The anatase phase is stable after calcination at temperatures up to 700^oC, and the specific surface area, total pore volume and average pore diameter of anatase phase do not change significantly after calcination at 600^oC.  Thermally stable and highly acidic sulfated titania aerogel is attractive as catalyst.  The aerogels calcined at 500, 700 and 750^oC have similar activities for synthesis of glycerol mono oleate surfactant.  However, the activity of the aerogel calcined at 600^oC is low. At 500^oC, a relatively large amount of sulfate remains, and the aerogel has high activity.
