Production of Triacetin by Microwave Assisted Esterification of Glycerol Using Activated Natural Zeolite
Triacetin, an alternative biodiesel additive, was prepared by esterification of glycerol with acetic acid in the presence of chemically activated natural zeolite. The esterification was carried out in a small reaction flask under microwave irradiation. The catalyst was characterized for its morpholo...
