Özet

Solketal is produced using glycerin and acetone with the green catalytic membrane as a heterogeneous catalyst. Solketal is a bio-additive that improves combustion efficiency and fuel properties to control air pollution. The catalytic membrane was created using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) green polymer, poly (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS) homopolymer, and sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) as a crosslinking agent. By catalyzing the reaction and absorbing water by-product, the catalytic membrane increased the yield. The experiments were conducted in a batch reactor, and the impact of various factors, such as the amount of catalyst, reaction temperature, and the initial molar ratio of reactants, on the reaction yield was evaluated. The optimal solketal yield of 95% was obtained after 3 hours of reaction time, with a reaction temperature of 60 degrees C, an acetone/glycerin molar ratio of 6/1, and a PVA/PAMPS catalytic membrane ratio of 70/30. The catalytic membrane's capacity to absorb water had a favorable impact on the reaction yield, which could be used to reduce air pollution. Sorption enhanced eco-friendly production of solketal by the catalytic membrane is a promising alternative method to the methods that use other catalysts.
