隨著美國麥克儀器的市場份額的逐步壯大，美國麥克儀器已經(jīng)成為行業(yè)科學(xué)研究必備儀器，日前英國哈德斯菲爾德大學(xué)教授發(fā)表了一篇題為“用于脂化生物柴油合成中游離脂肪酸的超高交聯(lián)聚苯乙烯磺酸催化劑 ”學(xué)術(shù)文章，已經(jīng)被Applied Catalysis B: Environmental（115– 116 (2012) 261– 268）收錄，在該項(xiàng)研究中，美國麥克儀器ASAP 2020與DVS Advantage儀器成為表征催化劑最強(qiáng)有力的工具，為其研究提供了最具可信度的分析結(jié)果。以下列舉該文章的摘要以及鏈接供參考：

標(biāo)題：Hypercrosslinked polystyrene sulphonic acid catalysts for the esterification of free fatty acids in biodiesel synthesis

摘要：
                                                                                                                      
New sulphonic acid catalysts supported on hypercrosslinked polystyrene have been studied in the esterification of oleic acid with methanol and in the rearrangement of α-pinene to camphene and limonenes. The catalysts have been characterised in terms of specific surface areas and porosities, affinities for water and for cylcohexane vapours, and both concentrations and strengths of acid sites. They have been compared with conventional macroporous polystyrene sulphonic acids (Amberlysts 15 and 35) and SAC-13, a composite between Nafion and silica. The results show that the hypercrosslinked polystyrene sulphonic acids, despite exhibiting relatively low concentrations of acid sites and acid site strengths below those of Amberlysts 15 and 35, are very much more catalytically active than conventional resins in reactions such as the esterification in which high acid site strengths are not required. It is thought that this is due to the highly accessible acid sites throughout the catalyst particles. Reusability studies are reported and it appears that the temperature at which the catalyst is used is important in controlling and minimising catalyst deactivation.
