In the present study, zinc laurate (ZL) was synthesized by precipitation and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis. ZL was applied for monolaurin synthesis by esterification of lauric acid with glycerol using a 2³ factorial design to determine the best conditions for monolaurin production. Conversion of nearly to 70% was achieved by using a lauric acid:glycerol molar ratio of 1:1, 2 wt % of catalyst and 140 °C, reaching to 33% of monolaurin selectivity. Statistical analyses at a confidence level of 95% indicated that the decrease in lauric acid:glycerol molar ratio was significant to enhance the monolaurin production. Moreover, the solid was able to be reused, preserving its original structure and the catalytic activity, which indicated the potential use in continuous processes.

在本研究中，月桂酸锌（ZL）是通过沉淀合成的，并通过X射线衍射，傅里叶变换红外光谱和热分析进行了表征。通过使用2 ³将月桂酸与甘油酯化，将ZL应用于一月桂酸酯合成析因设计，以确定单月桂酸酯生产的最佳条件。通过使用月桂酸：甘油的摩尔比为1：1、2 wt％的催化剂和140°C，可实现接近70％的转化率，达到单月桂酸酯选择性的33％。置信水平为95％的统计分析表明，月桂酸：甘油摩尔比的降低对于提高单月桂酸酯的产量具有重要意义。此外，该固体能够重复使用，保留其原始结构和催化活性，这表明该固体可用于连续过程中。
