Study on the esterification for ethylene glycol diacetate using supported ionic liquids as catalyst: Catalysts preparation, characterization, and reaction kinetics, process

Functionalised heterogeneous catalysts for sustainable biomass valorisation

“…conventional silica, mesoporous SBA-15, and polystyrene on the catalytic performance of acid functionalised SILs was studied. 298 The obtained catalysts were tested for the production of ethylene glycol diacetate via esterification of ethylene glycol with acetic acid. Ethylene glycol diacetate is a useful solvent for paints, coatings, plastics, and wood stains.…”

Physicochemical properties of piperidinium, ammonium, pyrrolidinium and morpholinium cations based ionic liquids paired with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion

“…Furthermore ILs are highly tunable and can be designed with a specific task in mind, hence the term 'designer solvents' that is sometimes used to describe them [7]. For this reason ILs have been explored for a wide range of applications including catalysis [8,9], electrochemistry [10,11], fuel cells [12] and separation processes [13].…”

Highly Efficient and Convenient Supported Ionic Liquid TiCl5-DMIL@SiO2@Fe3O4-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of CO2 and Epoxides to Cyclic Carbonates

“…Immobilized ILs have the attractive features of ILs and heterogeneous catalysis, such as easy catalyst recovery, high efficiency, high stability and recyclability. Thus, this problem can be overcome by immobilizing the traditional IL on solid supports [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Various methods have been developed for immobilization of ILs on solid supports such as alumina, titania, silica, etc, and among these solid supports, silica was found to be one of the most effective one [41].…”
