Abstract

Solid magnetic nanoparticles (magnetite = Mag) composed of Fe3O4 and magnetite coated with silica (Fe3O4/SiO2 = Mag/Si) were prepared from inexpensive starting materials. The catalytic activity of the solids was investigated for palmitic acid esterification with methanol under solvothermal conditions. Both pure Fe3O4 (Mag) and silica-coated (Mag/Si) nanoparticles exhibited high catalytic activities and were easy to recover from the reaction environment using an external magnet. Furthermore, the magnetic nanoparticle catalysts were reused without significant loss of catalytic activity and showed high durability in typical acid-catalyzed reactions. XRD and SEM analyses were conducted before and after esterification, showing almost identical particle distribution in both fresh and reused catalysts.

基于磁铁矿的磁性可回收纳米催化剂：一种环保且可回收的酯化反应催化剂

采用廉价原料制备了由Fe3O4和包覆二氧化硅(Fe3O4/SiO2 = Mag/Si)的磁铁矿组成的固体磁性纳米颗粒(磁铁矿= Mag)。研究了固体在溶剂热条件下对棕榈酸与甲醇酯化反应的催化活性。纯Fe3O4 (Mag)和二氧化硅包覆(Mag/Si)纳米颗粒均表现出较高的催化活性，并且易于通过外磁铁从反应环境中回收。此外，磁性纳米颗粒催化剂可重复使用，在典型的酸催化反应中没有明显的催化活性损失，并表现出较高的耐久性。在酯化前后进行XRD和SEM分析，发现新鲜催化剂和重复使用催化剂的颗粒分布几乎相同。
