Optimization of process variables for esterification of bio-oil model compounds by a heteropolyacid catalyst
In this work, the catalytic upgrading of a bio-oil model compound via esterification with ethanol was studied using 12-tungstosilicic acid as the catalyst. The response surface method was used to investigate and optimize the process variables, which include the ethanol to acid molar ratio, catalyst...
