Study on the Selectivity of Esterification for the Preparation of Dehydrated Sorbitol Monooleate Lu Ming, Shen Wei (Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Chemical Engineering School, Nanjing 210094) Abstract Several kinds of acidic catalysts、alkaline catalysts and oxidant catalysts used in the esterification of sorbitol and oleic acid are studied. The result shows:that the product made by using the acidic catalyst contains more proportion of dioleate, while the product made by using the alkaline catalyst or the oxidant catalyst contains more proportion of monooleate. In particular the monooleate proportion in the product made by using zinc oxide as catalyst is up to 91%.
