Title: Promoting Production and Application of Non-toxic Tributyl Citrate
Abstract: Non-toxic tributyl citrate was synthesized from citric acid and n-butanol in the presence of compounded catalyst.The optimum esterification conditions were determined as follows: molar ratio of citric acid to n-butanol was 1∶3.5,reaction temperature 100℃~130℃,quantity of catalyst accounted for 0.8% of citric acid,reaction time 2.8 h,resulted in final conversion of more than 99.4%,with a purity of more than 99.5%.The property and application of the tributyl citrate were described in this article.
