The Study on Catalytic Properties of Hydrochloric Acid Doped Polyaniline

The high purity hydrochloric acid-doped polyaniline has been prepared by chemical oxidation. The catalytic properties in the form of solid have been studied in ethyl acetate. The results show that the yield of ethyl acetate reaches 66.8% when the ratio between the amount of volume of acetic acid and ethanol is l: 2 and the amount of polyaniline is equal to0.6g. The yield of ethyl acetate does not increase with increasing the amount of catalyst, but can increase the number of recycling the catalyst.
