Abstract

The development of new materials has been increasing over the decades, among which catalysts figure prominently playing an important role in industrial processes when it acts in reactions such as transesterification and esterification for the production of various compounds, such as biofuels. In this work a prospective technological survey of catalysts used in transesterification and esterification reactions was performed. Patent and article searching was performed on different databases using the keywords catalyst AND transesterification AND esterification. This issue has attracted attention in industry and academia as noted in Scopus with the number of publications of 719 documents, with China and India being the leading countries, and the number of patents filled of 216 according to Patent Inspiration, with United States and Japan having relevant positions. Brazil has a growing interest in this scenario through the development and improvement of catalysts.
