Abstract | : | Chemically modified montmorillonite K10 (Mt - K10) with a mixture of SiO 2 - Fe 2 O 3 oxide was done through the intercalation of silica - iron sol into the interlayer of montmorillonite followed by calcination using microwave radiation 700 W for 10 minutes. Characterization of physical and chemical properties of the reaction product (nanocomposite SFMK - 700) and Mt - K10 using XRD, FTIR, BET surface area analyzer (porosimetry), TEM, and SEM - EDAX instruments. Total surface acidity has also been tested.The results showed that the physicochemical modified of Mt - K10 resulted in increased acidity and catalyst activity.The catalyst activity test carried out on lauric acid esterification with methan ol (molar ratio of 1:20) in the presence of a 20% (w/w) catalyst. The catalyst SFMK - 700 is capable of converting 95.92% lauric acid to form a product of methyl laurate(methyl ester/biodiesel) as much as 93.74% (w/w) . |
