Four kinds of functional ionic liquids (ILs) ([C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]HSO 4 ), 1-(3-sulfopropyl)-1-methylpyrrolidone phosphate ([C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]H 2 PO 4 ), 1-(3-sulfopropyl)-1-methylpyrrolidone p-toluene sulfonate ([C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]CH 3 SO 3 H) and 1-(3-sulfopropyl)-1-methylpyrrolidone methyl sulfonate ([C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]C 6 H 6 SO 3 H)) were prepared and the catalytic activity of these ILs during esterification of carboxylic acids (formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid) with alcohols was investigated. The results indicated that the IL ([C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]HSO 4 ) exhibited an optimal catalytic performance. And then the IL ([C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]HSO 4 ) was immobilized to the silica gel. The immobilized IL performed more excellent catalytic activity than the unsupported [C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]HSO 4 . The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, molar ratio of acid to alcohol and catalyst dosage were investigated. The response surface methodology based on the Box–Behnken design (BBD) was used to explore the best reaction condition of different experimental variables. Accordingly, a high n -butyl butyrate yield of 97.10% under the deduced optimal reaction conditions was obtained, in good agreement with experimental results and that predicted by the BBD model. The immobilized IL [C 3 SO 3 Hnmp]HSO 4 maintained high catalytic activity after five cycles.

AbstractThis work investigates the effect of simultaneous ultrasound-microwave irradiation on palm oil transesterification and uncovers optimal operating conditions. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been used to analyze the influence of reaction conditions, including methanol/palm oil molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature and irradiation time on biodiesel yield. RSM analyses indicate 136 s and 129 s as the optimal sonication and microwave irradiation times, respectively. Optimized parameters for full conversion (97.53%) are 1.09% catalyst concentration and a 7:3.1 methanol/oil molar ratio at 58.4°C. Simultaneous ultrasound-microwave irradiation dramatically accelerates the palm oil transesterification reaction. Pure biodiesel was obtained after only 2.2 min while the conventional method requires about 1 h.

Abstract In this research work, melon oil was used as feedstock for methyl ester production. The research was aimed at optimizing the reaction conditions for methyl ester yield from the oil. Response surface methodology (RSM), based on a five level, four variable central composite designs (CCD)was used to optimize and statistically analyze the interaction effect of the process parameter during the biodiesel production processes. A total of 30 experiments were conducted to study the effect of methanol to oil molar ratio, catalyst weight, temperature and reaction time. The optimal yield of biodiesel from melon oil was found to be 94.9% under the following reaction conditions: catalyst weight - 0.8%, methanol to oil molar ratio - 6:1, temperature - 55°C and reaction time of 60mins. The quality of methyl ester produced at these conditions was within the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM D6751) specification.
