Abstract
Free fatty acids (palmitic, stearic and oleic acid) were converted into biodiesel with methanol over composites catalysts consisting in SBA-15 with sulfonic acid groups (SBA-15-SO3H) immobilized in Chitosan (CH), at 60ºC. It was observed that the catalytic activity increased with the amount of SBA-15-SO3H dispersed in CH. It was also observed that the catalytic activity decreased in the series: palmitic acid > stearic acid > oleic. The catalytic stability of [SBA-15-SO3H]3/CH composites was studied. A good stability was observed.
