Esterification of Phthalic Anhydride with 2-Octanol and Sebacic Acid with Ethanol has been studied in presence of HZSM-5. This study showed that HZSM-5 has strong catalytic effect on Esterification reactions. The effect of some factors such as calcination temperature, drying temperature, acidifying solution concentration, impregnation time, drying time, calcination time and calcination atmosphere has been investigated.
