Transesterification of waste oil to biodiesel using Brønsted acid ionic liquid as catalyst

Brønsted acid ionic liquids were employed for the preparation of biodiesel using waste oil as the feedstock. It was found that IL 1–(3–sulfonic acid)propyl–3–methylimidazole hydrosulfate–[HO<sub>3</sub>S-pmim]HSO<sub>4</sub> was an efficient catalyst for the reaction under th...
