| Abstract | Sulfated zirconia (SZ) catalysts prepared by a two-step sol–gel method and calcined at 600–700 °C were evaluated for esterification of myristic acid with methanol using varied acid to alcohol ratio, reaction temperature and catalyst concentration. An exceptionally small concentration of SZ catalysts (0.125–0.5 wt% to acid) exhibited 98–100% conversion of myristic acid with methanol at 60 °C after 5 h. The conversion was decreased with an increase in the alkyl chain of alcohol from methanol to butanol, however, similar conversion was achieved by increasing the reaction temperature to 90 °C. The ester formation was selective, irrespective of alcohol and other reaction variables. The calcination temperature has strong influence on the structural, textural and acidic features and thus on the activity and re-usability of SZ catalysts. The reaction is sensitive to moisture present in methanol or reaction mixture. The studied reaction is Brönsted acid catalyzed and the SZ catalyst having higher number of Brönsted acid sites was re-used successfully without significant loss in activity; whereas the SZ catalyst having lower number of Brönsted acid sites showed a decrease in activity (∼28%) after five reaction cycles. The results clearly indicated the necessity of higher number of Brönsted acid sites for better performance and recycling of the SZ catalysts for esterification of myristic acid with methanol under the conditions studied. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
