Abstract

Transesterification of ethylene carbonate with methanol over MgO-CeO2 mixed oxide catalysts was demonstrated. Among the ionic liquids, [Bmim][BF4] showed the best performance in terms of activity, while [Omim][PF6] obtained the best selectivity for this reaction. The addition of ionic liquid's in the coprecipitation method increased the surface area and pore volume of the catalysts. The activity and selectivity of the catalyst depended on the base strength distribution. The moderate basic site was responsible for the catalytic activity, while the selectivity was more dependable on the strong basic site.
