PENGARUH KONSENTRASI KATALIS DAN REUSABILITY KATALIS PADA SINTESIS TRIASETIN DENGAN KATALISATOR LEWATIT
Abstract: Triacetin is a
product from reaction between glycerol and acetic acid on acid catalyst. The
use of solid catalysts such as ion exchange Lewatit is an alternative method to
ease product separation. Synthesize of triacetin was conducted in a batch
reactor with stirring speed of 175 rpm, at temperarture of 100oC and the
reactant ratio of 6 mole acetic acid / glycerol. The effect of concentration
catalyst and reusability of catalyst were investigated. The highest conversion
obtained for 84,84 % in catalyst concentration 5% to weight of glycerol. The
result showed that comparison of catalyst concentration give real effect to the
conversion of glycerol into triacetin, while the reusability catalyst does not
give a significant effect on glycerol conversion be triacetin.
