随着美国麦克仪器的市场份额的逐步壮大，美国麦克仪器已经成为行业科学研究必备仪器，日前英国哈德斯菲尔德大学教授发表了一篇题为“用于脂化生物柴油合成中游离脂肪酸的超高交联聚苯乙烯磺酸催化剂 ”学术文章，已经被Applied Catalysis B: Environmental（115– 116 (2012) 261– 268）收录，在该项研究中，美国麦克仪器ASAP 2020与DVS Advantage仪器成为表征催化剂最强有力的工具，为其研究提供了最具可信度的分析结果。以下列举该文章的摘要以及链接供参考：

标题：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.
