Optimization of soybean oil transesterification using an ionic liquid and methanol for biodiesel synthesis
Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were synthesized through the transesterification of soybean oil with methanol using an ionic liquid as a catalyst. The ionic liquid 3-(N, N-dimethyldocecyl ammonium) propane sulfonic acid p-toluene sulfonate ([DDPA] [Tos]) was synthesized, characterized and used for t...
