Optimization of novel pyrazolium ionic liquid catalysts for transesterification of bitter apple oil
Institution:Department of Chemistry, Taibah University, 30002 Al-Madina Al-Munawara, Saudi Arabia
Abstract:In the present study, 4 different functionalized pyrazoliums based on sulfoalkyl-pyrazolium hydrogensulfate and alkylsulfo-alakylpyrazolium hydrogensulfate were explored to catalyze biodiesel production from bitter apple oil (BAO). The results demonstrated that a longer chains catalyst of 2-(4-sulfobutyl) pyrazolium hydrogensulfate (SBPHSO4) exhibited the highest catalytic activity, which is attributed to its strong acidity. The highest yield of esters was up to 89.5% when the reaction was carried out under the conditions of 5.2 wt% of SBPHSO4, molar ratio of methanol to BAO of 15:1, 170 °C, and 800 rpm for 6 h. These results demonstrated that ionic liquids offer a promising new type of pyrazolium catalyst for biodiesel production. The use of clean ionic liquids in preparing clean biodiesel could solve the drawbacks associated with using the old conventional catalysts and might be employed as an efficient catalyst for such relevance.
