Synthesis and Characterization of Zirconium Phosphate as a Solid Catalyst for Esterification of Wastewater Containing Acrylic Acid

Commercially available heterogeneous catalyst such as ion exchange resin has been used by the industry in the esterification reaction to overcome the problems caused by homogeneous catalyst. Heterogeneous catalyst with high tolerance to water is needed in the esterification of wastewater containing...
