Phosphotungstic acid immobilized on amino-functionalized TS-1 zeolite as a solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of tributyl citrate

The amino-functionalization of TS-1 zeolite followed by immobilization of phosphotungstic acid (HPW) was presented to prepare a strong solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of bio-based tributyl citrate from the esterification of citric acid and n-butanol.γ-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was first grafted on the TS-1 zeolite via the condensation reactions with surface hydroxyl groups, and subsequently the HPW was immobilized via the reaction between the amino groups and the protons from HPW-forming strong ionic bonding. The Keggin structure of HPW and MFI topology of TS-1 zeolite were well maintained after the modifications. The amino-functionalization generated abundant uniformly distributed active sites on TS-1 for HPW immobilization, which promoted the dispersity, abundance, as well as the stability of the acid sites. The tetrahedrally coordinated framework titanium and non-framework titania behaved as weak Lewis acid sites, and the protons from the immobilized HPW acted as the moderate or strong Brønsted acid sites. An optimized TBC yield of 96.2% (mol) with a conversion of -COOH of 98.1% (mol) was achieved at 150 °C for 6 h over the HPW immobilized on amino-functionalized TS-1. The catalyst exhibited good stability after four consecutive reaction runs, where the activity leveled off at still a relatively high level after somewhat deactivation possibly caused by the leaching of a small portion of weakly anchored APTES or HPW.
