In this research, a solid acid catalyst was synthesized to catalyze glycerol acetylation into ace tins. The sulphated-Titania catalysts were prepared via the wet impregnation method at different sulfuric acid concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) and denoted as 5SA, 10SA, 15SA, and 20SA, respective...
