Abstract: | CaO–ZrO2 prepared by co-precipitation showed to be a well-performed catalyst for the transesterification of propylene carbonate (PC) and methanol. The characterization by X-ray powered diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy indicated that CaO was doped into the lattice of ZrO2 to form CaO–ZrO2 solid solution. Such a solid solution was a strong solid base, which was proved by CO2 temperature program desorption (CO2-TPD). As a result, the catalyst showed high stability towards the transesterification of propylene carbonate and methanol into dimethyl carbonate with high PC conversion, especially being subjected to the continuous production of dimethyl carbonate at reactive distillation reactor for 250 h without any obvious loss of activity at the PC conversion of 95%. |
