Abstract

The effect of acid activation with 0.125–0.5 M Н2SO4, HCl, and HNO3 on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of natural clay (the Mukhartalinskii deposit) containing 95% montmorillonite (MM) was investigated in the synthesis of solketal [(2,2-dimethyl 1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methanol] from glycerol and acetone. The reaction rate and selectivity toward solketal are shown to depend on the type and concentration of acid. Both the yield of solketal and the reaction rate rose with increasing acid concentration, which correlates with the increase in the number of Brønsted acid sites. The efficiency of the system was found to diminish in the order MM/HCl > MM/HNO3 > MM/H2SO4 as the surface acidity decreased.
