Synthesis of palm-based ethylhexyl ester as a synthetic base oil for drilling fluids using chemical transesterification
In the present study the synthesis of a palm based ethylhexyl ester was examined through a transesterification reaction of palm oil methyl ester (POME) with 2-ethylhexanol (EH). A sodium methoxide in methanol solution was used as a catalyst. The reaction was carried out at a fixed pressure of 1.5 mb...
