Abstract

Synthetic methods and kinetics for synthesizing methyl oleate

Author(s): Yongmei Zhang1,Hongjun You

Nowadays a lot of synthetic methods of methyl oleate using different catalysts such as cation exchange resin, ionic liquids,mesoporousmolecular sieve and bismuth phosphotungstate have been reviewed in the present paper. Yields of methyl oleate are improved by the addition of above catalysts. These methods are having the advantages of simple process and low investment costs. On the other hand, kinetic equations have been pointed out. The experimental results show that kinetic equations may predict the distribution of product and the experimental data are in agreement with the quantitatively analytical conclusions drawn from the calculated data.
