Resumo

Powdered and granulated activated carbons from babassu were submitted to alkaline treatment with 2 mol L–1 NaOH solution, washed with distilled water to pH 8 and dried. The prepared carbons were tested as catalysts in the Claisen–Schmidt reaction between acetophenone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde using methanol as solvent at room temperature for 24 h. Babassu granular carbon (BGC) and basic babassu granular carbon (BBGC) exhibited the highest conversions, of 69.26% and 66.59%, respectively. The kinetic study was carried out with BBGC, which led to values of kinetic constant k of 5.26 L mol–1 h–1 at 35 °C and 7.35 L mol–1 h–1 at 50 °C. The activation energy of the reaction was 18.91 kJ mol–1. This study proposes a second-order pseudo-homogeneous reaction catalyzed by BBGC. A continuous fixed-bed reactor operation was carried out with BBGC catalyst and the best conversion was 60% in 120 min using of 0.05 mol L–1 reactants concentration.
