Ethyl oleate production by means of pervaporation-assisted esterification using heterogeneous catalysis

Pervaporation-assisted esterification of oleic acid and ethanol was investigated by means of heterogeneous acid catalysis with the aim of increasing the ethyl oleate yield. The experimental strategy comprised kinetic tests with Amberlyst 15 Wet (Rohm & Haas), the characterization of hydrophilic...
