Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Performance of Nanoferrites Subjected to the Esterification Reaction

Abstract:

Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄, Mn_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ and Ni_0.2Cu_0.3Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ nanoferrites were synthesized, characterized and evaluated in terms of their performance as catalysts in the methyl esterification reaction of soybean oil. The nanoferrites were synthesized by combustion and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The XRD patterns show the presence of inverse spinel B(AB)₂O₄ phase. The EDX results confirmed the stoichiometry of the nanoferrite systems, whose morphology consisted of large block-like agglomerates with a brittle aspect and a wide agglomerate size distribution. The results indicate that the Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ nanoferrite was the most active catalyst in the esterification reaction, with conversion rates ranging from 40 to 91%.
