The benzene alkylation with long chain olefin over solid acid catalyst in the fixed-bed reactor was carried out under near critical conditions. The kinetic model of alkylation correlated with external diffusion and yield model of products were determined, and the model parameters, such as, the external diffusion factor, olefin conversion rate constant and the rate constant forming three products, were estimated. The statistical analysis showed the kinetic model had the higher simulation precision. Compared with the catalyst with 12~16 mesh (Cat-2), the activity and selectivity of linear alkyl benzene (LAB) of catalyst with 20~40 mesh (Cat-1) was higher.

A commercial process simulator was used to develop a detailed simulation of a biodiesel production process, and carry out case studies and optimization. The simulated process produced biodiesel from a feedstock containing 5 wt.% free fatty acids in a fixed-bed reactor with sulfated-zirconia as an acidic catalyst. Sized unit operation blocks, material and energy flows were used to conduct an economic assessment of the process. Total capital investment, total manufacturing cost, after tax rate-of-return and production cost ($/kg) were all determined for the process. The process was then optimized by maximizing the after tax rate-of-return (ATROR). Based on our previous work, the most economical process for transesterification of waste vegetable oil at the scale of 8000 metric tones/yr of biodiesel production among the four processes examined was based on a solid acid catalyst reaction. Our results showed that the process is economically feasible, even without government subsidy, while at the same time, the produced biodiesel met the required ASTM standard for purity.

Benzene alkylation with propylene - propane technical mixture over B-(Al)-HZSM-5 zeolite, as solid acid catalyst has been studied. It was found that izopropylbenzene (IPB) formation associate with a low level of byproducts, e.g., n-propylbenzene (NPB) and di-izopropylbenzenes (DIPB) as result of the inherent multiple competing reactions. Under the specific conditions in the alkylation of benzene with propylene -propane mixture, the maxim yields of IPB (% wt.) and the IPB selectivity based on benzene reaction (wt.%) were 86, 87 and 87.0 %.

Background: Waste biomass derived reusable heterogeneous acid based catalysts are more suitable to overcome the problems associated with homogeneous catalysts. The use of agricultural biomass as catalyst for transesterification process is more economical and it reduces the overall production cost of biodiesel. The identification of an appropriate suitable catalyst for effective transesterification will be a landmark in biofuel sector Objective: In the present investigation, waste wood biomass was used to prepare a low cost sulfonated solid acid catalyst for the production of biodiesel using waste cooking oil. Methods: The pretreated wood biomass was first calcined then sulfonated with H2SO4. The catalyst was characterized by various analyses such as, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The central composite design (CCD) based response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to study the influence of individual process variables such as temperature, catalyst load, methanol to oil molar ration and reaction time on biodiesel yield. Results: The obtained optimized conditions are as follows: temperature (165 ˚C), catalyst loading (1.625 wt%), methanol to oil molar ratio (15:1) and reaction time (143 min) with a maximum biodiesel yield of 95 %. The Gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil was showed that it has a mixture of both monounsaturated and saturated methyl esters. Conclusion: Thus the waste wood biomass derived heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification process of waste cooking oil can be applied for sustainable biodiesel production by adding an additional value for the waste materials and also eliminating the disposable problem of waste oils.

An unprecedented two-step sequence was designed by combining batch and continuous flow (CF) protocols for the upgrading of two aminodiol regioisomers derived from glycerol, i.e., 3-amino-1,2-propanediol and 2-amino-1,3-propanediol (serinol). Under batch conditions, at 80–90 °C, both substrates were quantitatively converted into the corresponding amides through a catalyst-free N-acetylation reaction mediated by an innocuous enol ester as isopropenyl acetate (iPAc). Thereafter, at 30–100 °C and 1–10 atm, the amide derivatives underwent a selective CF-acetalisation in the presence of acetone and a solid acid catalyst, to afford the double-functionalized (amide-acetal) products.
