A Study on Synthesis of α-Terpineol Catalyzed by A Solid Catalyst

Hydration reaction experiment of turpentine catalyzed by ZrO2/SO4-was conducted to study the catalytic function of ZrO2/SO4-and explore the optimum process conditions for synthesizing α-Terpineol.The experimental results showed that under the reaction temperature of 80℃,using catalyst 5 % of the mass of turpentine,reaction time of 10 h,turpentine:solvent:assistant:water(mass) of 1∶1∶1∶2,the conversion ratio of 90 %,the selection of α-Terpineol production was 64.96 %,and ΔHφf,g and Sφg were estimated as well.
