Sodium phosphate solid base catalysts for production of novel biodiesel by transesterification reaction
The efficient sodium phosphate (Na 3 PO 4 ) solid base catalysts were prepared and applied in the production of novel biodiesel: ethylene glycol monomethyl ether monolaurate (EGMEML) by transesterification. The calcined sodium phosphate catalysts (NaP- T ) were characterized using thermogravimetry a...

and main reaction parameters such as molar ratio of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) to methyl laurate (ML), dosage of catalyst, reaction time and temperature on the yield of EGMEML were examined. The results showed that the maximum yield of EGMEML could reach 90% under 120 °C within 4 h and 5 wt% of Na
