研究了柠檬酸与正丁醇在Ce(SO4)2·4H2O/NH2SO3H复配催化剂催化作用下制备柠檬酸三丁酯的工艺条件。实验结果表明Ce(SO4)2·4H2O/NH2SO3H催化合成柠檬酸三丁酯的最佳反应条件为:醇酸摩尔比为4.0∶1,催化剂用量为1.5%(以柠檬酸质量计),m[Ce(SO4)2·4H2O]∶m(NH2SO3H)=2∶1,反应温度为150℃,反应时间为7h,酯化率〉98.5%,精制后产品纯度〉99.5%。
The technical condition of synthesis tributyl citrate by citric acid and butanol, with Ce(SO4)2·4H2O/NH2SO3H as catalyst was studied. The optimum reaction conditions of esterification were determined as follows: molar ratio of butanol to citric acid 4.0 : 1, amount of catalyst 1.5% (based on the mass of citric acid), m[Ce(SOn)2·4H2O] : m(NH2SO3H)=2 : 1, reaction temperature 150℃, reaction time 7h, esterification yield could be up to 98.5%, and the purity of tributyl citrate was over 99.5%.
