Optimization of process variables in the synthesis of butyl butyrate using amino acid-functionalized heteropolyacids as catalysts
Response surface methodology was successfully applied to optimize esterification of butanol with butyric acids over amino acid-functionalized heteropolyacids, namely, [GlyH]xH3-xPW12O40 (x=1.0–3.0). A series of catalysts were prepared by incorporating tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) with varied amounts...
