General description
Amberlyst-15 is a Brønsted acidic resin catalyst.[1]
Application
Amberlyst-15 has been used as a catalyst for the etherification of furanyl alcohols by using both ethanol and butanol solutions.[1] Amberlyst-15 hydrogen form has been used as an acid resin catalyst for the conversion of furfuryl alcohol into ethyl levulinate in lipid ethanol[2] and for biodiesel production from triolein in a batch reaction system by transesterification method at high temperatures.[3]
Strongly acidic cation exchange resin used as a heterogeneous acid catalysis; suitable for non-aqueous catalysis.
