Abstract
⺠We used poly(EGDMA-VTAZ-SO3H) solid catalyst for the esterification of methyl lactate. ⺠We investigated the effect of water production during the esterification reaction. ⺠The activation energies are compared with those of other traditional acid catalysts. ⺠From nitrogen physisorption data, high surface area and type II isotherm are obtained. ⺠High density of acid sites is detrimental for the esterification reaction.
