A kind of effective hydrotalcite-like catalysts which can be used in the epoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters were exploited in this work. The hydrotalcite-like compounds were synthesized by using the coprecipitation method, and then a novel pillared-hydrotalcite was obtained through ion-exchange method. Then, the catalyst activity was tested by epoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters without carboxylic acid, and the results indicate that pillared-hydrotalcite shows better catalytic performance. The effects of reaction time, temperature and catalyst reusability on the epoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters were discussed in detail. The conversion and selectivity of epoxy products reach 56.1% and 59.4% respectively at 60 ℃ for 16 h. After recycling 4 times, the recycle utility rate was still over 90%. Finally, the mechanism of interaction between the catalyst and oxidant was investigated.

Key words: pillared hydrotalcite-like compound, ion-exchange, epoxidation, fatty acid methyl esters
