"Microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of sulfonated TiO2-GO core–s" by Soroush Soltani, Nasrin Khanian et al.
Abstract In accordance with the need for green production, the aim of current research is to synthesize a highly recyclable mesoporous SO H-GO@TiO catalyst possessing both Brönsted and Lewis acid sites for one-pot catalyzing the esterification of inexpensive acidic feedstocks namely palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), containing free fatty acids (FFAs, >85 wt%) and a considerable amount of water (3 wt%). The mesoporous sulfonated GO@TiO catalyst was synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal microwave-assisted method featured by uniform dispersion of TiO nanoparticles inside the mesopore fr...
