Abstract:
The catalysis of heteropolyacidic. salt on the etherification of diethylene glycol with ethanol was investisated. It is observed that Ag3PW12O40 and Ag4SiW12O40 give high activities and selectivity for etherification, on which the conversion is 89. 0% and 87. 3% ,the selectivity of diethylene glycol monoethyl and diethyl ether is 73. 4% and 80. 6% respectively,but the activity of Ag3PMo12O40 is lower. By using IR ,XRD ,TG and ;n-butylamine titrimetry ,the catalysis of heteropolyacidic salt were studied and the its activity may be connected with acidic centre owned by heteropolyacidic salts.
