Abstract

Abstract. Alginate is a naturally occurring anionic carbohydrate polymer which could be
coupled with metallic cationic molecules to form heterogeneous catalyst. However, the potency
of the heterogeneous catalyst on the production of solketal was not explored. This research was
proposed to investigate the potency of Ferri-Alginate (Fe-Alg) as a cheap and environmentally
friendly catalyst in the solketal reaction. Fe-Alg was synthesized by reacting FeCl3 to sodium
alginate with different concentrations (0.1 -0.5 M). Fe-Alg catalyst was characterized both on
the physical and chemical activity. By using BET analysis, it was indicated that the addition of
FeCl3 concentration increased the surface area of the catalyst. By using TGA/DSC analysis, it
was found that Fe-Alg catalyst was stable up to 153°C. From GC/MS analysis, it was found
that solketal was formed after the reaction of glycerol and acetone by using Fe-Alg as the
catalyst.
