| Abstract: | An attempt has been made to synthesise benzyl acetate from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid using Na-β, Na-Y, and NaZSM5 zeolites and their ion exchanged forms as catalysts. All the catalysts are characterised for their surface acidity, surface area and crystallinity by n-butyl amine titration method, BET and XRD respectively. The esterification reaction has been carried out in liquid phase taking the reactants in different acid to alcohol molar ratios (1:1, 1:2, 2:1). The amount of the ester formed has been estimated indirectly by titrating the unreacted acid with a standard base. The selectivity was found to be 100% with reasonably good yield (44-83%). The catalysts are also checked for their reusability. |
