Meso- and macroporous sulfonated starch solid acid catalyst for esterification of palm fatty acid distillate

In the present work, a heterogeneous solid acid catalyst was successfully developed from starch. The catalyst was prepared by a significant two-step process; the initial step was incomplete carbonization of starch (ICS) at 400 degrees C for 12 h and consequently followed by sulfonation process using...
