Abstract

In this study, polyesters synthesized from AB Tung oil-based polyols (TOBPs) monomers via step-growth polymerization reactions. TOBPs are polyols made from Tung oil through a series of hydroxylation and epoxidation procedures. They have hydroxyl (OH) and carboxylic (COOH) functional groups. The polymerization was performed in a three-necked round-bottomed flask (250 mL) equipped with a magnetic stirrer, thermometer, and condenser. It is placed in an oil bath to maintain the reaction temperature. The generated moisture was collected using a vacuum pump. In the meantime, oxygen is being expelled from the reactor by nitrogen. The temperature and stirring speed were kept constant for 6 hours throughout the operation. According to the experiment, 150°C was the ideal temperature for polyesterification. The reaction rate constant rose by 4.73 to 19.99% with the addition of the p-TSA catalyst. The [COOH] and [OH] models were nearly identical to the experimental results, demonstrating the viability of the proposed kinetic model. According to the calculation's findings, polymerization without a catalyst yielded activation energies (Ea) and collision factors (A) of 27.2215 kJ/mol and 16.2965 g.mmol-1.min-1, respectively. Then, polymerization with catalyst decreased Ea and A values, which were around 26.4681 kJ/mol and 14.6746 g.mmol-1.min-1. Copyright © 2025 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

Developing an optimal catalyst formulation is a critical challenge in expanding sustainable ethylene production and utilization as a chemical intermediate product. Metal oxide impregnation (silver nitrate (AgNO3), cobalt nitrate (Co(NO3)2), and phosphotungstic acid (H3PW12O40)) was used to enhance the catalytic performance of HZSM-5 by increasing active sites and acidity. The preparation of the catalyst was performed by the impregnation of various metals and amounts of loading particles inside the pores of HZSM-5. The particles were impregnated by incipient wetness impregnation and followed by calcination to obtain Ag/HZSM-5, Co/HZSM-5, and W/HZSM-5 catalysts. Characterization techniques, including N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, and XRD, were used to analyze the catalyst properties. Catalytic performance was evaluated in a packed-bed reactor under varying reaction conditions at WHSV 1.8 h-1. The aim of this research is to identify optimal catalyst formulations that exhibit superior activity in both conversion and selectivity towards ethylene production. Modified HZSM-5 catalysts incorporating Ag, Co, and W exhibited enhanced catalytic performance for bioethanol dehydration to bioethylene, attributed to optimized acidic sites, pore structure, and metal synergy. The 1%W/HZSM-5 catalyst demonstrated superior ethylene conversion (98.2%) and selectivity (99.88%) at 300 ℃. Increasing tungsten loading up to 2% impacted the conversion of bioethanol.
