BET surface area analysis shows decrease of surface area from 930 to 416 m(2)/g after OTS adsorption. SEM pictures show close attachment of SBA-15 particles. EDAX measurements show increase of carbon weight percentage and decrease of oxygen and silicon weight percentage. XPS results closely support EDAX analysis. FTIR spectra shows presence of methyl (-CH3) and methylene (-CH2) bands and oriented OTS monolayer on SBA-15. Thermo-gravimetric analysis shows that the OTS adsorbed on SBA-15 are stable up to a temperature of 230 degrees C and that the OTS monolayers decompose between 230 and 400 degrees C.

Catalysts were unambiguously characterized by XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption, FF-IR pyridine adsorption techniques and the total amount of acidity of different STA loaded catalysts was estimated by TPD of NH3. The optimization of reaction conditions of an esterification of BA with AA was performed with 15 wt.% STA/22.4 wt.% ZrO2/SBA-15 calcined at 1123 K by varying catalyst concentration (1-10 wt.% of reaction mixture); temperature, 353-383 K and AA:BA molar ratio as 0.5-3. The 15 wt.% STA/22.4 wt.% ZrO2/SBA-15 calcined at 1123 K was found to have the highest acidity and more active in the reaction. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the 15 wt.% STA/22.4 wt.%ZrO2/SBA-15 calcined at 1123 K gave 59% BA conversion with selectivity for benzyl acetate as high as 96% within 2 h of reaction time.

Catalysts with different (%) TPA and zirconia loadings calcined at different temperatures were prepared by wet-impregnation and characterized by XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption, FT-Rarnan, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The acidic behavior of the catalyst was studied by TPD of ammonia and FT-IR pyridine adsorption. Among the catalysts, 15 wt.%TPA/22.4 wt.%ZrO2/SBA- 15 calcined at 1123 K had the highest acidity and was the most active catalyst in veratrole acetylation with acetic anhydride.
