Abstract: Continuous-flow silica monolithic microreactors functionalized with acidic centers were obtained. The monoliths exhibited different structural parameters; in particular the size of flow-through macropores. The performance of microreactors and packed bed reactors with Amberlyst 15 and silica gel with acidic centers was compared in esterification of acetic acid with butanol.
