| Summary: | Disclosed herein is an experiment project to investigate the catalyst for acetalization of
glycerol using formaldehyde to enhance the productivity. The project is conducted by
exploiting the wide choice of metal for catalyst development, reporting on catalyst
developed by studying the characteristic and analysis the catalytic performance in the
reaction. Catalysts are all prepared by Incipient Wetness Impregnation process where to
two different metal are used. Catalyst that had been develop will go to characteristic
analysis using various tool to determine it surface area, porosity, metal distribution and
pore volume. Then finally the catalyst will tested for its catalytic performance in
acetalization of glycerol and formaldehyde. |
