Abstract
It has been studied the effect of H-zeolite addition in esterifiction step of biodiesel synthesis from usedcooking palm oil using a steinlessteel biodiesel reactor with capacity of 10 L and equipped with an automatictemperature control, a timer, and a stirrer.
The study was initiated with natural zeolite activation using technical sulfuric acid. After activation thezeolite was characterized its acidity by gravimetric method, its structure by X-ray diffractometry, and FT-IR.The H-zeolite then was used as solid acid catalyst in esterification step of biodiesel synthesis to decrease thefree fatty acid concentration in used palm oil. The H-zeolite which was used in the process was varied itsweight towards (oil + methanol) weight i.e. 1.50%; 3.50%; 5.50% and 6.50%. As a comparison, pretreatment
of used cooking palm oil also has been done over 1.50 % sulfuric acid. After pretreatment, the oil wasseparated from methanol and H-zeolite, the reaction was continued by transesterifying the oil with methanol
using NaOH as catalyst. The transesterification product then was labeled as biodiesel. Both esterification andtransesterification process were carried out in a steinlessteel biodiesel reactor at temperature of 70
oC for 2
hours. The composition of the biodiesel was analyzed using Gas chromatography–Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS), 1H-NMR and their physical properties were analyzed using ASTM analysis methods.
The research results showed that activation resulted in no destruction of zeolite structure and increased itsacidity. Biodiesel reactor can used for biodiesel synthesis from used cooking palm oil. Addition of H-zeolitein esterfication could decrease its free fatty acid content. Increasing of H-zeolite would increase the biodieselconversion. The highest conversion of biodiesel was 98,41% achieved by addition of H-zeolite of 5.5%
(w/w). The result of GC-MS analysis showed that main components of biodiesel were mixture of methylesters with methyl oleic as the major compound (40.66%). Based on the ASTM analysis data, the obtained
biodiesel specification was in agreement with diesel fuel specification for automotive.

Introduction
The international demand for biodiesel and
the promotion of the oil as sources of renewableenergy which can decrease the greenhouse effect are
increasing year after year. Biodiesel can be used in
almost diesel engine when mixed with fossil dieseloil. Biodiesel can provide benefits including:
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel
use, increase rural development and a sustainable fuel
supply. However, biodiesel have some limitations
such as the feedstocks for biofuel production must bereplaced rapidly [1-10]
Biodiesel is consisting of fatty-acid alkyl
esters, known as FAME (fatty-acid methyl ester).Fatty-acid alkyl esters are long chains of carbon
molecules with an alcohol molecule attached to one
end of the chain. In a process called
transesterification, vegetable oils, animal fats or
restaurant greases are combined with alcohol andchemically altered to form fatty esters such as methyl
ester [8-14]
Beside fresh vegetables oil, used cooking oilmay be used as raw material for biodiesel syntheses.
However, used cooking oil which has been heated inhigh temperature usually contain high concentration
of free fatty acids. Free fatty acids will create soapand hinder the formation of biodiesel in
transesterification reaction step. One of the method to
deal with this is by giving a preliminary treatment on
used cooking oil in the form of an acid catalyst
adding before transesterification is conducted. The

)
purpose of the treatment is to reduce free fatty acidsconcentration in used palm cooking oil through
esterification reaction. In the esterification reaction
step,usually a catalyst homogen such as sulfuric acid
was used. The use of sulfuric acid as catalyst inindustry is not considered economical becausesulfuric acid used is mixed with alcohol, so that it is
difficult to separate them, moreover sulfuric acid
which is containing sulfur can decrease the quality of
the biodiesel as fuel. As an alternative, a solid acidcatalyst such as acidified zeolite is used [13-19].
Materials And Methods
Materials
The natural zeolite was supplied byPT.Anindya Divisi Pertambangan, Yogyakarta.
Technical grade Sodium hydroxide, methanol andsulfuric acid were used as received. Aquabidest as adispersion media was purchased from Lab.of Physical
Chemistry, Gadjah Mada University. Used cooking
palm oil was purchased from CV.Kembang
Nusantara,Yogyakarta.
InstrumentationsThe X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were
obtained on Shimadzu PW3710 BASED
diffractometer equipped with Shimadzu X-ray
generator, using CuK α radiation. The scanning (2θ)range was from 2 to 40o and the scanning rate was
5o
/min. FTIR spectra was obtained from ShimadzuFTIR-8201 PC. Concentration of biodiesel was
determined using 1H-NMR (60 MHz) and Gas
Chromatography (HP 5890 Shimadzu), meanwhilecomponents of biodiesel were determined using Gas
Chromatography–Mass Spectrometer (Shimadzu).
Synthesis and Characterization of H-ZeoliteThe study was initiated with natural zeolite
activation using technical sulfuric acid. One hundered
gram natural zeolite with dimension of 250 mesh wasdispersed into 1,6M technical grade sulfuric acid. The
dispersion was stirred and then filtered. The solid
phase was heated at 120
o
C for 5 hours. The productwas labeled as H-zeolite. After activation the H-zeolite was characterized its acidity by gravimetric
method, its structure by X-ray diffractometry, and
FT-IR. To calculate methyl esters content we used
proton-NMR data and equation 1.

Synthesis of Biodiesel
The H-zeolite which was used in the process
was varied its weight towards (oil + methanol) weight
i.e. 1.50%; 3.50%; 5.50% and 6.50%. As acomparison, pretreatment of used cooking palm oil
also has been done over 1.50 % sulfuric acid. After
pretreatment, the oil was separated from methanoland H-zeolite, the reaction was continued by
transesterifying the oil with methanol using NaOH as
catalyst. The transesterification product then was
labeled as biodiesel. Both esterification andtransesterification process were carried out in a
steinlessteel biodiesel reactor at temperature of 70oC
for 2 hours (Fig.1). The composition of the biodiesel
was analyzed using Gas chromatography–MassSpectroscopy (GC-MS), 1H-NMR and their physical
properties were analyzed using ASTM analysis

The study was initiated with natural zeoliteactivation using technical sulfuric acid. After
activation the zeolite was characterized its acidity by
gravimetric method, its structure by X-ray
diffractometry, and FT-IR. From X-ray analysis result
could be concluded that the acid activation resulted inno destruction of the natural zeolite structure
significantly. It can be seen clearly from the reflexes
of H-zeolite in its difractogram which almost all of
the reflexes still exist after acid activation (Fig.2)

Figure 3. FT-IR Spectra of H-zeolite (above) and natural zeolite (below)
Infra red analysis result also supported the
X-ray analysis data. There was no indication that acid
activation caused a significant distruction of zeolitestructure. After activation all importance vibrationts
of the zeolite still appeared in H-zeolite spectra
(Fig.3).Gravimetry analysis indicated that acid
activation can cause the increasing of total acidity ofthe clay in some extent (from 0.02980 mmol
NH3/gram to be 0.03125 mmol NH3/gram) . Theincrease of the acid uptake indicated that the surface
area and adsorption sites of the H-zeolite was higher
than natural unmodified zeolite, Therefore, it is
expected that H-zeolite has catalytic properties higher
than natural unmodified zeolite.
Synthesis of Biodiesel
Biodiesel reactor with capacity of 10 L canused for biodiesel synthesis from used cooking palm
oil. The product and the used cooking palm oil are
displayed in Fig.4. The color of obtained biodieselwas bright yellow meanwhile used cooking palm oil
was dark brown. The characterization result indicated
that addition of H-zeolite in esterfication could
decrease its free fatty acid content from 4.166% to
1.58% .
Figure 4. Used cooking palm oil (left) and biodiesel(right)
To determine the methyl esters concentrationin product we used proton-NMR analysis method.
Analysis results (Fig.3, Fig.4.and Fig.5) exhibited that
esterification and transesterification resulted in theformation of biodiesel which indicated by appearing a
sharp peak around 3,7 ppm at its spectrogram (Fig.
7). Calculation using equation 1 showed that the
increasing of H-zeolite would increase the biodiesel
conversion. The highest conversion of biodiesel was98,41% achieved by addition of H-zeolite of 5.5%
(w/w).

Fig. 7. Proton-NMR spectra of biodiesel
The result of GC and GC-MS analysisshowed that main components of biodiesel were
mixture of methyl esters with methyl oleic as the
major compound ca. 40.66% (Fig. 8-12). Othercomponets were methyl palmitic (34,37%), linoleic
(13,12%) and stearic (6,84%) (Fig. 9-12).
Figure.8 Chromatogram of mixed methyl esters
The existence of methyl palmitic was indicated by the
appearance of fragment with m/z= 270, 239 and 74
(Fig.9). The appearance of fragments with m/z = 294,
263, 81,55 and 41 was considered due to methyllinoleaic (Fig. 10). Fragments with m/z = 296, 266,
264, 74, 69, 55 and 41 was caused by methyl oleic
(Fig.11). Finally, the methyl stearic appeared with
m/z = 87, 101, 115, 129, 143, 157, 171, 185, 199,

Biodiesel produced from the above metioned
process are further tested their physicochemical
properties using ASTM method and are comparedwith the specification of ASTM biodiesel (Table 1).
Biodiesel resulted from esterification with H-zeolite
and transesterification proved to fulfil 8 criteria
stipulated for diesel oil, which include viscosity,density, flash point, water content, Conradson carbon
residue, fuel value and specific density. Viscosity of
biodisel is related to specific density in which the
higher the viscosity was, the greater the specific
density would be. Biodiesel with high specific density
will be difficult to flow so that it will slow down theignition process. Biodiesel viscosity from used
cooking palm oil had lower viscosity than used oil,and if it is used as fuel for diesel engine, the result of
injection in ignition chamber will easily form nebula
which facilitate ignition.
Flash point of biodiesel from used cooking
palm oil is relatively very high. The high flash point
make biodiesel easy for storing. The biodiesel can besaved easily and safely in tropical areas. If flash point
of the biodiesel was lower, the biodiesel will be easily
flammable in storing. Biodiesel from used cooking
palm oil is considered to have high pour point. Thehigh pour point cause the diesel engine to stuck in
lower temperature so that it is not suitable for use in
sub tropical areas.
The comparison between specification of
biodiesel produced in the research with specification
of diesel oil for industry and automotive was shownin Table 1. Of the five criteria presented, our
biodiesel fulfil the requirements for being alternativefuel for diesel oil for industry and auttomotive.

Abstract
The esterification reaction of Jatropha curcas seed oil with methanol to remove free fatty acid (FFA)
for biodiesel production was conducted using various bentonite catalysts. Solid acid catalysts from bentonite were prepared by aqueous impregnation technique. 5.3 M HCl and 40% by mass of H2SO4
were supported on bentonite by aqueous impregnation, washed with deionized water till Cl -1 and SO4-
2 ions were not detected, dried overnight and calcinated at 500 oC for three hours. Catalysts was
characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and pyridine adsorption FTIR. Five catalysts
used in esterification reactions of Jatropha curcas seed oil with methanol were compared: (A) non-
activated bentonite; (B) HCl 5.3 M-activated bentonite; (C) HCl 5.3 M-activated bentonite and
calcinated at 500 oC (D) H2SO4 40%-activated bentonite; (E) H2SO4 40%-activated bentonite and
calcinated at 500 oC. The effects structure properties of bentonite catalysts were discussed relating
to the conversion of the FFA.

Introduction
With the increasing price of petroleum and
environmental concerns over pollution caused by the
internal combustion gases, alternative fuels have been
developed [1, 2]. Biodiesel is considered as one of the
alternative fuels for diesel engines become
increasingly important [3].
Biodiesel is defined as the mono alkyl esters of
long chain fatty acids derived from renewable
feedstocks, such as vegetable oil or animal fats, use in
compression ignition engine [4]. It is a clean-burningfuel, biodegradable, nontoxic and has low emission
profiles and so is environmentally beneficial. Use of
biodiesel has the potential to reduce the level of
pollutants and of potential carcinogens [5,6,7].
In biodiesel production, the use of edible oils will
compete with the food product. Consequently, the
use of non-edible oil as alternative source will be
important. Among several non-edible oil seed species
could be utilized as source for oil production, J.
curcas which grows in tropical and sub-tropical
climates accross developing world is a multipurpose
species with many attributes and potentials [8,9]
However, the relatively higher amounts of free fatty
acids (FFA) and water in this feedstock results in the
production of soap in the presence of alkali catalyst.
During alkaline-catalyzed transesterification, high
content FFA will react with alkali catalysts to produce
soaps which will inhibit the transesterification for
biodiesel production. Furthermore, the large amount
of soap can gel and also prevent the separation of theglycerol from the ester [5]. Acid-catalyzed
transesterification, despite its insensitivity to FFA in
the feedstock, has been largely ignored mainly
because of its relatively slower reaction rate [6].
Therefore a process combining pretreatment withalkaline-catalyzed transesterification for feedstocks
having high FFA content was investigated by many
authors [10,11,12,3].
Acid-catalyzed esterification of high FFA content
vegetable oils is a typical method of biodiesel
production due to high reaction speed and high yield
[13]. Some raw feedstocks with high FFA such as
yellow and brown grease [10], rubber seed oil [11]
mahua oil [14], waste cooking oil [15] and jatropha
oil [11] have been used to produce biodiesel with
homogeneous acid-catalyzed esterification followed
by transesterification using alkaline catalyst.
Compared with conventional liquid acid catalysts,

solid acid catalyst is more environmentally friendly
[15].
The present work was undertaken to investigate
the pretreatment process for reducing the FFA content
of jatropha oil for biodiesel production using various
bentonite as solid acid catalyst. This paper focuses on
the reaction parameters that affect the conversion of
FFA in crude jatropha oil by means of acid-catalyzed
esterification with methanol.
Materials and Methods
Materials
Jatropha curcas oil was hydrolic press extracted of
jatropha seed from Lampung, South Sumatra,
Indonesia. Anhydrous methanol (MeOH), 99.8%,
potassium hydroxide (KOH), sulfuric acid (H2SO4),
and Hydrochloric acid (HCl), 37-38% pure were
purchased from ChemAR ®.
A calcium-rich bentonite (CaB) sample was
obtained as powder from PT. Superintending
Company of Indonesia used in the experiments. The
bulk chemical analysis of the bentonite (mass %) is
SiO2, 64.15; TiO2, 0.47; CrO3, 0.003; Al2O3,.70;
Fe2O3, 0.10; MgO, 0.70; CaO, 0.03; , Na2O, 0.20;
K 2O, 0.50 and loss on ignition (LOI), 22.61.
Preparation of Catalyst [16,17]
Acid-activated Bentonite were prepared by aqueous impregnation technique. 5.3 M HCl and
40% by mass of H2SO4 were supported on bentonite
by aqueous impregnation (at 80 oC and 4 h), washed
with deionized water till Cl-1
and SO4-2
ions were not
detected, dried overnight and calcinated at 500 oC for
three hours. Five catalysts for esterification of
jatropha oil with methanol were compared: (A)
“untreated” bentonite catalyst; (B) esterification with
5.3 M HCl-activated bentonite catalyst; (C)
esterification with 5.3 M HCl-activated bentonite and
calcinated at 500oC catalyst (E) esterification with
40% H2SO4-activated bentonite catalyst; (F)
esterification with 40% H2SO4-activated bentoniteand calcinated at 500
oC catalyst.
Characterization of Catalyst
The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of natural
and acid activated samples were recorded from
random mounts prepared by glass slide method using
a Rikagu D-Max 2200 Powder Diffractometer,
operating at 40 kV and 30 mA, using Ni-filtered
CuKa radiation having 0.15418 nm wavelength, at a
scanning speed of 2o2θ min _1. Surface area of bentonite was measured with multipoint Brunauer,
Emmett and Teller (BET) method from the
Quantachrome Surface Analysis Instrument
(Autosorb 1-C, Boynton Beach, Florida, USA). This
was done using nitrogen adsorption/desorption
isotherms at liquid nitrogen temperature and relative
pressures (P/Po) ranging from 0.04- 0.4 where a
linear relationship was maintained. For acidity study,
about 10 mg of the sample was pressed at 2-5 tonnes
for a minute to obtain a 13 mm disk. The sample was
introduced in infrared cell with calcium flourite.
Each sample was degases for 16 hours under vacuum
at 400 °C. The infrared spectra were collected at
room temperature using Simadzu 2000 FTIR
spectrometer at 2 cm-1 resolution. The type of acid
sites were examined using pyridine as probe
molecule. Then pyridine was absorbed for 30
seconds at room temperature, continued by desorption
at 150 °C for 1 hour. Finally, the sample was
desorpted at 400 °C for 1 hour.
Esterification process catalyzed by sulfuric acid
Esterification was conducted in a 250 ml three-
neck flask. The flask was equipped with a
mechanical agitator and a reflux condenser, and
heated with a water bath to control the reaction
temperature (60oC). In the experiments, flasks loaded
with Jatropha oil samples were firstly heated to the
designated temperature. This was followed by the
addition of the methanol (methanol : oil ratio, 0.28
v/v) and sulfuric acid (1.34%) mixture before turning
on the agitator, marking the start of the esterification
reaction.

designated temperature (60oC). This was followed by
the addition of the methanol (methanol : oil ratio, 0.30
v/v) and solid acid catalyst (5% w/v oil) mixture
before turning on the agitator, marking the start of the
esterification reaction. The esterification products
were separated in a tap funnel to obtain the upper oillayer. After methanol recovery under vacuum at
50oC, oil layer was then washed with water several
times until the pH of washing water was close to 7.0.
The resultant esterified oil was dried by anhydrous
magnesium sulfate before acid value analysis.The
convertion of FFA was defined as the fraction of the
FFA removed. The convertion of FFA ( xFFA) was
determined from acid number ration using below
equation [15]:

Results and Discussion
Characterization of Catalyst
Fig. 1 shows changes in intensity and width of
the 001 peak, which indicate that the crystallinity of
the bentonite is considerably affected by acid
activation an calcination. The variation of relative
intensity (I / I0) and full width at half-maximum
(FWHM) peak height of the XRD peak for bentonites
represent the intensities for the natural and acid-
activated bentonite samples, respectively. The
decrease in I / I0 and increase in FWHM on the 001
XRD peak show that the crystallinity of bentonite
decreases by increasing in acid [17].

The results show that the acid value decrease
significantly after 6 hours esterification. The bestcatalyst is HCl-activated bentonite without
calcination with 67.70% FFA convertion after six
hours reaction time. This result is lower than
heterogeneous catalyzed reaction of H2SO4
(91.70% FFA convertion).

Effect of esterification reaction time to convertion
of FFA and acid value
According to Lu et al [18], FFA convertion
will increase with the increasing of time,
temperature and ratio methanol to oil. In thisexperiment we increase the reaction temperature
from 60oC to 65oC and methanol to oil ratio from
0.30 (v/v) to 0.40 (v/v) using catalyst B. The
convertion of FFA and acid value of esterified oil is
shown in Fig.4. The result shows that the
convertion of FFA increase from 67.70% to 81.7%

Alkali catalysed transesterification of jatropha oil
In this work, the lowest acid value of esterified
jatropha oil was 2.32 mg KOH/g. In fact, the alkali
catalyzed transesterification of jatropha oil could
work, even if the FFA content was over 1% [19].
The reaction of jatropha oil with methanol was easy
to perform. The bottom layer of glycerol wasobvious after 24 minutes reaction time [12].

Abstract
TS-1 has good catalytic activity in reaction of selective oxidation of organic materials such as benzene and phenol using H2O2 as oxidizing agent. However, it has hydrophobic character thatcorrelate with the slow rate of the reaction. Modification of catalyst using metal oxide result in
decreased of hydrophobic property, and as a sonsequence the rate of the reaction will beincreased. In this paper, TS-1 was modified by Al2O3 using impregnation method. The solid
were characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and hydrophilicity techniques.Hydrophilicity test of Al2O3/TS-1 was carried out using the mixture of xylene and water. The
impregnated catalysts Al2O3/TS-1 show partially hydrophilic property. Al2O3/TS-1 catalyst with4%wt loading demonstrated fastest submerged time at water as compare to other samples. The
addition of Al2O3 increased hydrophilicity of TS-1 which is indicated by the results ofhydrophilicity test.

Introduction
The synthesis of titanium silicalite (TS-1) was first reported by Taramasso et al. [1] in1983. Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1), a MFI-typetitanosilicate, has been used as a highly-efficient,heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidation oforganic compounds using hydrogen peroxide as an
oxidant. TS-1 can lessens tar product and side products which have potential as pollutant [2]. Overthe last decade, the literature has reflected a highactivity and selectivity of H2O2 on TS-1 as catalystsfor mild oxidation reactions with H2O2 used as theoxidant, such as phenol hydroxylation, olefins
epoxidation, cyclohexanone ammoximation,
alkane oxidation, oxidation of ammonia tohydroxylamine, secondary amines todialkylhydroxylamines [3].
TS-1 has been commercialize in
hydroxylation reaction of phenol with high
hydroquinone selectivity and high H2O2 efficiency
[4]. Hydroxylation reaction of phenol to produce
diphenol had draws many attention since 1970s,
and some catalysts either homogen and also
heterogeneous have been applied in this reaction
[5].
Reaction mechanism of phenolhydroxylation is as follows (1) TS-1 willdecompose H2O2 (oxidation agent) which has
hydrophilic character to form titanium-peroxoradical (initiation step), then (2) propagation step in
solution [2]. This mechanism can be explained viatitanium-peroxo complex formation mechanism as
intermediate from reaction between H2O2 and TS-1catalyst [6-10]. The rate of the forming of titanium- peroxo depended on the rate of H2O2 reach to activesite in TS-1. H2O2 is hydrophilic, that is quietdifferent from hydrophobic character of TS-1. [11],consequently the reaction rate of phenol
hydroxylation reaction is tends to be slow [7].One of the way to increase phenol
hydroxylation reaction rate by modifieng of catalystTS-1. Hence the existence of modified catalyst willinfluence its the character of chatalytic. The
property of TS-1 modified properties made becomemore hydrophilic character by increasing acidity.The addition of metal oxide is the way to increaseacidity, so the reaction rate of H2O2 with TS-1 toforms Ti-peroxo becomes more quicker. Theaddition of acidity character may come from Lewisacidity site or Brønsted acidity site. In this research
applied Al2O3/TS-1 having acidity side of Lewiswhich is high as metal oxide added at TS-1. So that
also can increase reaction rate of H2O2 with TS-1 toforms Ti-Peroxo which in the end will yield product briefer. Finally the reaction rate of phenolhydroxylation at Al2O3/TS-1 will be much faster
and shows increasing of catalytic activity andselectivity higher than TS-1.

Material and Methods
For TS-1 (1 mol% of Ti), tetraethyl
orthosilicates, TEOS (Merck, 98%) was placed intoa Teflon beaker and vigorously stirred, tetraethylorthotitanate, TEOT (Merck, 95%) was carefullyadded dropwise into this TEOS. The beaker was
covered with parafilm to avoid hydrolysis. Thetemperature of the mixture was raised to 35oC and
the reactants were mixed homogeneously for halfan hour. Then the mixture was cooled to about 0oC.The solution of TPAOH (Merck, 20% TPAOH inwater), which was used as template, was also
cooled to 0oC.
After a few minutes, TPAOH was added
drop-wise slowly into the mixture of TEOS andTEOT. At first, one should wait a few minutes afteraddition of a few drops of TPAOH solution beforemore TPAOH solution is added, to avoid
precipitation. Stirring and cooling were continuedduring this process. After the addition of about 10
mL the addition rate of TPAOH solution wasincreased. When the addition of TPAOH wascompleted, the mixture was heated in thetemperature range of 80-90oC for about 4 h in orderfor the hydrolysis of TEOS and TEOT to take place. Distilled water was added to increase the
volume of the mixture, after which a clear gel wasobtained. The gel was transferred into autoclaveand heated at 175
oC under static condition. The
material was recovered after 4 days ofhydrothermal crystallization by centrifugation andwashing with excess distilled water. A white
powder was obtained after drying in air at 100oC
overnight. The calcination of the sample to removethe template was carried out under static air at550oC for 5 h with temperature rate at 1o/min.
Samples of Al2O3/TS-1 catalystcontaining 0,5%; 1%; 2%; and 4% were prepared
by impregnation method, titanium silicalit (TS-1)was added to alumunium (III) nitrate solution
which obtained by dissolving alumunium (III)nitrat. This mixture stirred at 80ºC for 3 h, dried at80-90ºC to eliminate water, and calcined at 550ºCfor 5 h. Catalyst TS-1 and Al2O3/TS-1 werecharacterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and
infrared spectrum is recorded with Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer,with KBr palette method. Hidrophilicity propertiesof samples was analyzed by catalyst sample powder
dispersion method at water phase and organic phasemixture (water and xylene). The movement ofcatalyst sample at each phase was observed.
Result and Discussion
Structural and phase of samples weredetermined by X-ray diffraction. The XRD patternswere showed in figure 1. Characteristic diffraction
line of TS-1 is observed at 2θ = 7.88; 8.78; 23.14;
23.9; 24.39; 2478°. The peak at 2θ around 24º isobserved for the change of crystal symmetry frommonoclinic symmetry, which is symmetry ofsilicalit-1, becomes orthorombic symmetry which issymmetry of TS-1. This Phenomenon indicates that
titanium atom is in the framework structure of TS-1
[12].X-ray diffraktogram pattern of
Al2O3/TS-1 with various Al2O3 loading variation at
TS-1, showed similar pattern. XRD pattern of
Al2O3/TS-1 with various of Al2O3 loading showed
similar pattern with parent sample TS-1 shown in
figure 1. Main top of crystal TS-1 emerges at 2θ =
7.88; 8.78; 23.14; 23.9; 24.39; 24.78°. The similar
pattern of XRD Al2O3/TS-1 indicates that Al2O3
dispersed at surface of titanium silikalit-1.
Therefore, the low content of Fe2O3 (up to 4 %wt)
on TS-1 catalyst surface doesn't change the initial
structure framework of TS-1.
This finding indicated that the MFIstructure of TS-1 is not collapsed afterimpregnation of Al2O3.
Catalyst samples of TS-1 and Al2O3/TS-1 showed absorption band at around 1100, 800, and450 cm-1, which is vibration mode of SiO4 or AlO4
tetrahedral [13]. Absorption band at around 1100cm-1 is unsimmetrical vibration mode of Si-O-Si,and absorption band at around 800 cm-1 is itssymmetrical vibration mode. Absorption bandappeared at around 1230 and 547 cm-1. It is
characteristic of tetrahedral structure in frameworkzeolite MFI [14]. Absorption band appeared ataround 970 cm-1 is characteristic of TS-1 which isvibration mode of stretching Si-O from unit [SiO4]which tied at atom Ti
IV with tetrahedral
coordination in TS-1 framework. Absorption bandappear at this wavenumber is evidence that titaniumatom has stayed in framework catalyst [15].

Abstract
Hydroxylation reaction of phenol into diphenol, such as hydroquinone and cathecol, has a great rolein many industrial applications. Phenol hydroxylation reaction has been carried out by using TitaniumSilicalite (TS-1) as catalyst and H2O2 as an oxidant. TS-1 catalyst has high activity and selectivity for
phenol hydroxylation reaction. However, its hydrophobic sites lead to slow H2O2 adsorption towardthe active site of TS-1. Consequently, the reaction rate of phenol hydroxylation reaction is tends to below. Addition of metal oxide can enhanced hydrophilicity character of TS-1 catalyst. In this research,
TS-1 catalyst was modified by addition of metal oxide Fe2O3 by impregnation method. Fe2O3/TS-1catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and hydrophilicity analysistechniques. The new catalyst, Fe2O3/ TS-1 showed higher hydrophilicity compared to TS-1, and it can
be predicted that the reaction rate of phenol hydroxylation will be much faster and will be showedincreasing of catalytic activity and selectivity than that of parent catalyst, TS-1.
Key words: catalyst, TS-1, Fe2O3/ TS-1, hydrophilic site, phenol hydroxylation
Introduction
Hydroxylation reaction of phenol to produce diphenol (catechol and hydroquinone) and its
isomers is one of important reaction because phenolhas various important functions such as antioxidant, polymerization inhibitor, photography, rubber production, antiseptic, reducing agent, intermediate in pharmacy, and many others. Hydroxylation reactionof phenol to produce diphenol had draws manyattentions since 1970s and some catalysts, bothhomogeneous and heterogeneous have been appliedin this reaction. Hydroxylation reaction of phenol
becomes environmentally friendly reaction when TS-1 (Titanium Silicalite-1) is applied as catalyst andaqueous H2O2 as oxidant [1]. TS-1 had draws manyattention since last decade because its unique catalyticcharacters to selective oxidation reaction of organiccompounds like aromatic hydroxylation, epoxidationalkenes, ammoximation cyclohexanone and oxidationof alkene and alcohol with hydrogen peroxide asoxidant [2]. TS-1 has been commercialize inhydroxylation reaction of phenol with highhydroquinone selectivity (hydroquinone/cathecolratio = 1) and high H2O2 efficiency [3].Hydroxylation reaction of phenol with TS-1 catalystshows high activity and selectivity, become clean
reaction with low H2O2 non-productivedecomposition, and high catalyst stability [4].
TS-1 can lessens tar product and side products which have potential as pollutant. Reaction
mechanism of phenol hydroxylation is as follows: (1)TS-1 will decompose H2O2 (oxidation agent) whichhas hydrophilic character to form titanium-peroxoradical (initiation step), then (2) propagation step insolution [5]. This mechanism can be explained viatitanium-peroxo complex formation mechanism asintermediate from reaction between H2O2 and TS-1catalyst [2, 6-9]. The rate of the formation oftitanium-peroxo depended on the rate of H2O2 reachto active site in TS-1. H2O2 is hydrophilic, that isquite different from hydrophobic character of TS-1[10], consequently the reaction rate of phenolhydroxylation reaction is tends to be low [7]. One ofthe way to increase phenol hydroxylation reaction
rate with TS-1 catalyst is by making TS-1 becomemore hydrophilic character, and the reaction rate of
phenol hydroxylation will be much faster and showsincreasing of catalytic activity and selectivity higherthan TS-1. Hydrophilic improvement of catalyst can
be carried out by addition of metal oxide which leadsto increasing of acidity properties. The existence ofmetal oxide in TS-1 catalyst can gives acid site whichcapable to increase catalyst hydrophilicity, so that

reactant adsorption in catalyst becomes faster [11,12].Heterogeneous catalytic process in phenolhydroxylation reaction can be carried out with puremetals oxide or supported oxide such as MoO3,
CuO/SiO2, Fe2O3, Fe2O3/Al2O3, Co3O4, V2O5 andcolloid particle of TiO2. However, this metal oxidesshow very low catalytic activity and selectivity [13].
In previous research by Indrayani [14],synthesis and catalytic activity were carried out withlow-loading of MoO3/TS-1 catalyst in phenolhydroxylation reaction. MoO3/TS-1 catalysts haveshowed improvement of hydrophilicity along with theincreasing of MoO3 content in MoO3/TS-1 catalyst.The improvement of hydrophilic character ofMoO3/TS-1 catalyst is also accompanied with theimprovement of its catalytic activity in phenolhydroxylation reaction. In this research, TS-1 catalystwas modified by addition of metal oxide Fe2O3 on thesurface of TS-1. The existence of Fe2O3 on the TS-1surface, is expected to bring this new catalyst(Fe2O3/TS-1) become higher hydrophilic charactercompared to TS-1, and the rate of phenolhydroxylation reaction becomes faster than TS-1.
Experimental
Samples TS-1 were prepared according to a procedure described earlier by Taramasso et al .(1983). Tetraethyl orthosilicates, TEOS (Merck,98%) containing 0.3145 mol of silicon was placed
into a Teflon beaker and vigorously stirred, tetraethylorthotitanate, TEOT (Merck, 95%) containing 0.0032mol of titanium in isopropyl alcohol was carefullyadded dropwise into this TEOS. The beaker wascovered with parafilm to avoid hydrolysis. Thetemperature of the mixture was raised to 35oC and thereactants were mixed homogeneously for half an hourto obtain depolymerisation of the titanate oligomersthat may be present in TEOT. Then the mixture wascooled to about 0oC. The solution oftetrapropylammonium hydroxide, TPAOH (Merck,20% TPAOH in water), which was used as template,was also cooled to 0oC. After a few minutes, TPAOH
containing 0.1287 mol of TPAOH was added drop-wise slowly into the mixture of TEOS and TEOT. Atfirst, one should wait a few minutes after addition of afew drops of TPAOH solution before more TPAOHsolution is added, to avoid precipitation. Stirring andcooling were continued during this process. After theaddition of about 10 mL the addition rate of TPAOHsolution was increased. When the addition of TPAOHwas completed, the mixture was heated in thetemperature range of 80-90oC for about 4 h in order
for the hydrolysis of TEOS and TEOT to take place.Distilled water was added to increase the volume ofthe mixture to about 127 mL, after which a clear gelwas obtained. The gel was transferred into a 150 mL
autoclave and heated at 175
o
C under static condition.The material was recovered after 4 days ofhydrothermal crystallization by centrifugation andwashing with excess distilled water. A white powderwas obtained after drying in air at 100oC overnight.Silicalite was synthesized by using the same
procedure without the addition of TEOT. Thecalcination of the sample to remove the template wascarried out under static air at 550oC for 5 h withtemperature rate at 1o/min [15].
Catalyst TS-1 and Fe2O3/TS-1 ischaracterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD)technique, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patternswere collected using the Ni-filtered Cu-K α radiation( λ = 1.5406 Å), the infrared spectrum is used for IRabsorption spectra analysis with KBr palette method.The infrared spectrum is recorded from wavenumber1400–400 cm−1. Catalysts hydrophilicity is analyzed
by catalyst sample powder dispersion method at water phase and organic phase mixture (water and xylene).A mixture of xylene and water, which do not mixwith each other, is employed to test the hydrophobiccharacteristics of the samples. Xylene and water ofthe same volume are added into a test tube to form astable phase interface Unmodified and modified
particles are, respectively, dispersed in the xylene– water system and stirred. After the mixture has
stabilized, the hydrophobic characteristics can bequalitatively evaluated by inspecting the state of thefloating/sinking of samples at the interface. Thecriterion of hydrophobic index is shown in table 2.
Results and Discussion
Fe2O3/TS-1 catalysts were characterized byX-ray diffraction technique. The XRD patterns wereshowed in Figure 1. Characteristic diffraction lines ofTS-1 is observed at 2θ = 7,94; 8; 23.08; 23.62; 23.88;23.92°. The peak at 2θ around 24º is observed for the
change of crystal symmetry from monoclinicsymmetry, which is symmetry of silicalite-1, becomesorthorombic symmetry which is symmetry of TS-1.This Phenomenon indicates that titanium atom isalready in the framework structure of TS-1 [18]. X-ray diffraction pattern of Fe2O3/TS-1 with various ofFe2O3 loading showed similar pattern with parent TS-1 sample. This finding indicated that the MFIstructure of TS-1 is not collapsed after impregnationof Fe2O3. Therefore, the low content of Fe2O3 (up to

Catalyst hydrophilicity character analysis iscarried out by catalyst samples dispersion method inthe mixture of water and organic phase (xylene).
The results of hydrophobic tests are shownin Table 3. All samples seem to show similar
behavior during the hydrophilicity test, this indicatesthat the addition of metal oxide on TS-1 surfacedidn’t give too much effect in TS-1 catalyst
properties, which is partially hydrophobic. Nevertheless, the addition of metal oxide on TS-1
surface makes Fe2O3/TS-1 catalyst become muchmore hydrophilic than TS-1 catalyst. It can be seen intable 3 that the higher Fe2O3 loading in TS-1 catalystresulted in the faster sinks into water. From Table 3,it can be concluded that there is the increasing of thecatalyst hydrophilicity character along with theincreasing of metal oxide Fe2O3 content at TS-1catalyst surface.
Conclusion
1. Catalyst TS-1, 0,5Fe2O3/TS-1, 1Fe2O3/TS-1, 2Fe2O3/TS-1, and 4Fe2O3/TS-1 has beensuccessfully synthesized
2. Catalyst 0,5Fe2O3/TS-1, 1Fe2O3/TS-1,2Fe2O3/TS-1, and 4Fe2O3/TS-1 still haveorthorombic structure MFI type which ischaracteristic of TS-1 catalyst.
3. Catalyst hydrophilicity character increasessuccessively from TS-1, 0.5Fe2O3/TS-1,1%Fe2O3/TS-1, 2Fe2O3/TS-1, and4Fe2O3/TS-1.

Abstract
A new series of zinc(II), cadmium(II) and bismuth(III) complexes with mixed ligands, dithiocarbamate and 2,2’-
bipyridyl were successfully synthesized using “in situ” method. Microelemental analysis data of the complexes are
in agreement with the general formula, M[S2CNR’R”]n bipy (M = Zn, Cd & Bi; R = s-butyl, R’ = propyl; R = benzyl, i-propyl; bipy = 2,2’-bipyridyl). Infrared spectra of the complexes showed that the thioureide ν(C N)
band is in the regions 1438 – 1453 cm-1
. The unsplitting band of ν(C-S) in the region 930 – 1000 cm-1
indicates the
bidentate nature of the chelated dithiocarbamate ligands. The13
C NMR chemical shift of the carbon atom of the N-
CS2
group appeared in the range of 201.67 – 208.27 ppm. The crystal structure of zinc(II)
benzylisopropyldithiocarbamate(2,2’-bipyridyl) supports the elemental and spectroscopic data in which twodithiocarbamates and one bipy ligands chelated to the central Zn atom in bidentate manner in a distortedoctahedron environment.
Keywords: dithiocarbamate; chloroform; IR spectra; biological activity
Introduction
For several years considerable attention has been paidto dithiocarbamate compounds. Firstly, their
biological effects have been researched, including
antialkylation, anti-HIV properties [1] and antitumor
activity against leucemic cells [2]. Some
dithiocarbamate complexes also have some practicalapplications. For example, they are used in
agriculture as fungiside and pesticide [3].
The 1:1 adducts of zinc and cadmiumdialkyldithiocarbamates with 2,2’-bipyridyl have
been reported and some of these complexes are very
active accelerators for the vulcanization of rubber and
low temperature vulcanization of latex [4]. Thecrystal structure of Zn[S2CN(C2H5)2]2(2,2’-bipy) has
been reported [5].
In spite of the fact that many
dithiocarbamate compounds with different transition
metals are described in the chemical literature, wehave only considered Zn(II), Cd(II) and Bi(III)
coordination compounds with non-symmetrical
dithiocarbamates with the general formula
M[S2CNR’R”]
n bipy. (M = Zn, Cd & Bi; R = s-butyl,
R’ = propyl; R’ = benzyl, R”i-propyl; bipy = 2,2’-
bipyridyl). So far, no information on complexes of
this type with the sec-butylpropyl and
benzylisopropyldithiocarbamate ligands were found
in the literature.
Materials and Methods
Reagents
All the reagents and solvents employed were
commercially available analytical grade materials and
were used as supplied, without further purification. N - benzylisopropylamine, 2,2’-bipyridyl and ethanol
(95%) were obtained from Fluka Chemicals. Carbon
disulphide and methanol (99.5%) from AjaxChemical Ltd. Bismuth(III) chloride was obtained
from Hayashi Pure Chemical Indsutries Ltd.
Cadmium(II) dichloride monohydrate, chloroform
and zinc(II) chloride were purchased from Merck.

Elemental analyses were performed on a Fision EA

determind on a Electrothermal IA 9100 apparatus.1
H

C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3
solution on a Joel JNM – LA400 spectrometer with
chemical shifts relative to tetrametylsilane. IR spectra
were obtained as KBr pellets on a Perkin Elmer
FTIR Model GX spectrophotometer in the frequency
range 4000 – 500 cm-1
and 500 cm-1
- 200 cm-1
.
Synthesis of dithiocarbamate complexes
The mixed-ligand complexes were prepared by
adding equimolar of metal dithiocarbamate
compound (zinc(II), cadmium(II) and bismuth(III))
and 2,2’-bipyridyl in the mixture of ethanol andchloroform solutions. The method used to prepare themetal dithiocarbamate compounds were synthesized
by a method reported earlier [6]. The resulting
mixture was stirred for one hour and the solvent was
allowed to evaporate at room temperature. After two
days, the crystals separated out and washed with coldethanol.
Results And Discussion
The Mn+[S2CNR’R”]m(bipy) complexes (n = 2, m = 2;
n = 3, m = 3; R’ = s-C4H9, R” = CH3; R’ = C7H7, i-
C3H7; bipy = 2,2’-bipyridyl) were prepared via a
straightforward process involving only two steps. Allthe compounds were non-hgroscopic and stable in air.
They were insoluble or sparingly soluble in most
common organic solvents and very soluble in
chloroform. The results of elemental analyses (Table
1) are in good agreement with those required by the proposed formulae. The formation of these complexes
may proceed according to the following equationgiven below.

and important characteristic absorption bands, along
with their proposed assignments are summarized inTable 2. The IR spectra of the compounds are very
similat to each other, except some slight shifts and
intensity change of a few vibration bands caused by
different metal ions, which indicate that thecompounds have similar structures. Coordination in
the mixed-ligand mainly affected the C-N and C-S

H NMR spectra for metaldithiocarbamate compounds. Two proton signalsfrom 2,2’-bipyridyl in compounds 1-4 have shifted
which one signal to downfield and the other onesignal to upfield. These shifts indicate that 2,2’-
bipyridyl has been coordinated to the metal atom. The
IR spectra data combined with these data showed that
the 2,2’-bipyridyl has coordinated to the metal atomin all of these compounds.

The most important signal in the 13C NMR
spectra was the chemical shift for N13CS2 carbon. The
N13CS2 chemical shifts for compounds 1-5 were
observed in the range 201.67-208.27 ppm which notobserved in the 13C NMR spectra for 2,2’-bipyridyl
compund. The N13
CS2 chemical shift for compounds1 and 2 dropped slightly to downfield compared tothe parent compounds (205.08 and 205.77 ppm
respectively). The high values of N13CS2 chemical
shifts could be explainded by an increase of π bondorder in the whole NCS2 moiety [8] which means that
the chelation of 2,2’-bipyridyl to the metal atoms has
promoted the delocalization of the unshared electron pair in the nitrogen atoms in the dithiocarbamate
groups.
Suitable crystal for X-ray crystallographic
studies of compound 2 were obtained by slowevaporation of a chloroform:ethanol mixture at room
temperature. The dithiocarbamate ligands and 2,2’- bipyridyl are bidentically chelated to the zinc atomand the coordination geometry around zinc was
distorted octahedral.
Conclusion
The elemental, spectroscopic and crystallographic
data showed that the new mixed-ligand complexes
have been successfully synthesized. The
dithiocarbamate ligands and 2,2’-bipyridyl were
chelated to the metal atom to form the
hexacoordinated mixed-ligand complexes. The
crystallographic study of compound 2 showed that both of the dithocarbamate ligands and 2,2’-bipyridyl
were bidentically chelated to the zinc atom.
