Abstract
We evaluate the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) for esterification of oleic acid by methanol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (p-TSA) or the cationic exchange resins K2411 and K1481 employed as solid catalysts. We initially compared the behavior of p-TSA and resin K2411 on the nature of the catalytic process and their respective catalytic efficiencies. The ultimate goal is to employ polymeric resins with functional groups as chemical catalysts (Riad, 1989; Asdih, 1990) in supercritical fluid media
