Acid Functionalization Of SBA-15 Mesoporous Catalyst For Glycerol Esterification To Monoglyceride

In order to exploit the glycerol stream, its transformation into monoglyceride was carried out in the present study. Monoglyceride was produced through glycerol esterification with lauric acid using acid functionalized Santa Barbara no.15 (SBA-15) mesoporous material as catalyst due to high surface...
