heal.abstract | Reusable, solid acid carbon supported catalysts were generated from biomass by pyrolysis (400-500 °C) to generate a soft to hard carbon backbone (i.e., biochar) for addition of acidic functional groups. Acid catalysts were synthesized by sulfonating the biochar and wood derived activated carbon using concentrated H 2SO 4 at 100, 150 and 200 °C (12 h) and gaseous SO 3 (23 °C). Attenuated Total Reflectance, sulfur, and NH 3-TPD analysis of the sulfonated carbons indicated the presence of -SO 3H groups on the 100 °C sulfonated biochar and activated carbon (AC), with higher active site densities (SO 3H density) for the SO 3 sulfonated material. The sulfonated carbons were tested for their ability to esterify free fatty acids with methanol in blends with vegetable oil and animal fat (5-15 wt.% FFA). Esterification of the fatty acids was typically complete (∼90-100% conversion) within 30-60 min at 55-60 °C (large methanol excess), but decreased with lower methanol to oil ratios using the biochar catalysts (e.g., 70%, 6 h, 20:1). Solid acid catalysts derived from wood based activated carbon had significantly higher activity compared to the biochar derived catalysts (e.g., 97%, 6 h, 6:1). Of the synthesized biochar catalysts, 400 °C pyrolyzedpine chip biochar, sulfonated at 100 °C, resulted in the highest reaction rate and lowest reduction in conversion (or deactivation) when reused multiple times. Drying the biochar catalysts for 1 h at 125 °C between uses maintained esterification activity, allowing the catalysts to be reused up to 7 cycles. For the SO 3 sulfonated AC catalyst, such a regeneration step was not required, as the fractional conversion of palmitic and stearic acid (5% FFA, 10:1, 3 h) remained >90% after 6 cycles. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
