Four typical Brønsted acidic ionic liquids (BILs) and concentrated sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) were used to catalyze the transesterification of fish oil with ethanol to produce fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) in this work. The experimental results show that the imidazole BILs lead to fewer side reactions and higher product quality than H 2 SO 4 . Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that [PSMim][HSO 4 ] molecules can be enriched at the interface and enhance the contact of eicosapentaenoic acid triglyceride (EPATG, a typical component of fish oil) and ethanol. And ester groups of EPATG tend to expose more to ethanol in the BILs system, which facilitates the occurrence of transesterification. However, H 2 SO 4 has no positive effect on the distribution of the two reactants. For the transesterification, the interfacial property affects the catalytic activity a lot, instead of catalyst acidity. Also, the reaction rate is accelerated, obviously, by ultrasound-led liquid–liquid phase emulsification.

For further resource utilization of solid waste steel slag and the reduction in biodiesel production costs, this study used steel slag as a carrier to synthesize a CaO-CeO2/slag solid base catalyst for the effective transesterification of palm oil into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The synthesis involved a two-step impregnation of steel slag with nitrate of calcium and cerium and thermal activation at 800 °C for 180 min. Then, the catalysts’ textural, chemical, and CO2temperature-programmed desorption properties were characterized. The catalytic activity depended highly on the ratio of Ca-Ce to steel slag mass; the CaO-CeO2/slag-0.8 catalyst showed outstanding performance. Characterization showed that the surface area and total basicity of the Ca-Ce/slag-0.8 catalyst were 3.66 m2/g and 1.289 mmol/g, respectively. The reactivity results showed that FAMEs obtained using 7 wt.% catalyst, 9:1 of methanol-to-palm-oil molar ratio, 180 min reaction duration, and 70 °C reaction temperature was optimum (i.e., 95.3% yield). In addition, the CaO-CeO2/slag-0.8 catalyst could be reused for at least three cycles, retaining 91.2% of FAMEs yield after n-hexane washing. Hence, the catalyst exhibits an excellent potential for cost-effective and environmentally friendly biodiesel production.Keywords:steel slag;calcium oxide;cerium oxide;transesterification;biodiesel

CaO is efficient in catalyzing transesterification for biodiesel production , but its industrial application is inherently restricted by active sites leaching. To address this drawback, CaO is decorated into wollastonite to prepare the stable Ca/wollastonite catalyst. Microwave-assisted transesterification is used to produce biodiesel from palm oil, which effectively accelerates the reaction rate and improves the conversion efficiency. The Ca/wollastonite-0.8 catalyst with the mass ratio of CaO to wollastonite of 0.8 performs well with the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield of 97.59%. Also, this catalyst is highly stable, where the FAME yield of 87.30% could be obtained for the fifth reused cycle. CaO is evenly dispersed on the wollastonite surface and the total basicity is high to 0.281 mmol g −1 . Meanwhile, transesterification parameters are optimized by response surface methodology with central composite design (RSM-CCD) and the maximum FAME yield of 98.46% is achieved at reaction temperature of 64.2 °C, molar ratio of methanol to palm oil of 15.54 and mass ratio of catalyst to palm oil of 9.21 wt % for 3 h. Besides, the mass ratio of catalyst to palm oil is the primary variable. Wollastonite is demonstrated to be feasible to enhance the stability of CaO in catalyzing transesterification.

A series of sulfated TiO 2 supported Mo ( x Mo/1.5ST) catalysts were synthesized successfully and evaluated for the transesterification of Jatropha seed oil (JO) to biodiesel. Extensive characterization exhibits that the well dispersed Mo oxide species, with Mo 6+ and Mo 5+ oxidation states, were formed on the surface of the sulfated TiO 2 . The results indicate the presence of many sulfates species leads to the reduction of Mo 6+ species to Mo 5+ species. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of the x Mo/1.5ST catalysts gradually increases with the increase of Mo-loading, although the sulfates content and the total acid intensity decrease. The transesterification process was fully investigated, and the 10Mo/1.5ST shows the highest yield of biodiesel of up to 97.42%. Additionally, the possible mechanism for the JO transesterification over Mo/1.5ST was described, and the fuel properties of the as-synthesized biodiesel conformed to the current international standards.

A series of Mg-Zr composite oxide catalysts prepared by the hydrothermal process were used for the transesterification of glycerol (GL) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to produce glycerol carbonate (GC). The effects of the preparation method (co-precipitation, hydrothermal process) and Mg/Zr ratio on the catalytic performance were systematically investigated, and the deactivation of the catalyst was also explored. The Mg-Zr composite oxide catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, TPD, N2adsorption-desorption, and XPS. The characterization results showed that compared with the co-precipitation process, the catalyst prepared by the hydrothermal process has a larger specific surface area, smaller grain size, and higher dispersion. Mg1Zr2-HT catalyst calcined at 600 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere exhibited the best catalytic performance. Under the conditions of reaction time of 90 min, reaction temperature of 90 °C, catalyst dosage of 3 wt% of GL, and GL/DMC molar ratio of 1/5, the GL conversion was 99% with 96.1% GC selectivity, and the yield of GC was 74.5% when it was reused for the fourth time.Keywords:glycerol carbonate;transesterification;hydrothermal process;Mg-Zr oxides

In this study, a novel p -toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) based deep eutectic solvent (DES) was prepared successfully for biodiesel production by one-pot method. The DES consisting of PTSA and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) exhibited the best catalytic activity among the five prepared DESs. Central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology were conducted to investigate reaction factors. The maximum oil extraction yield 90.33 % and fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) conversion yield 96.53 % were obtained under the optimal condition: microwave temperature 72 °C, microwave power 500 W, time 40 min, the ratio of liquid to seed weight 27:1 and DES amount 11 wt%. The chemical composition of FAMEs and main physical-chemical properties were investigated and the results demonstrated that the prepared biodiesel product possessed high quality. The study showed the prepared DES was a green and efficient catalyst for rapid and simultaneous extraction and transesterification seed oil for biodiesel production by one-pot method.

Vitrimers are fascinating thermoset polymers to the industry since they can be recycled and reprocessed without compromising their mechanical strength and solvent resistance. Particularly, transesterification reaction in the epoxy resin (ER) vitrimers usually requires the incorporation of a catalyst, whereas most reports only focused on investigating the catalytic effect of small molecules, such as zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2) and triazabicyclodecene (TBD). In this work, a polymer catalyst, poly(acrylonitrile-co-zinc methacrylate) (Zn-PAM), was synthesized by the random copolymerization of zinc methacrylate and acrylonitrile, where the transesterification catalysis efficiency of Zn-PAM was systematically investigated and compared to that of Zn(OAc)2 and TBD by temperature-dependent stress relaxation experiments. It was revealed that Zn-PAM has a higher catalysis efficiency than Zn(OAc)2 and TBD under the same loading between Zn2+ and TBD. Besides, only a tiny amount of polymer catalyst is needed to efficiently catalyze the transesterification reaction while in the meantime enhance the mechanical properties of ER.

The novel heterogeneous catalysts of SrZr 1- x Fe x O 3 ( x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 or 0.40) with acid-base bifunctional property are prepared through the sol-gel method and applied in catalyzing transesterification and esterification from acidified oil to produce biodiesel . The substitution of Zr by Fe in the SrZrO 3 perovskite results in the lattice distortion to generate abundant surface oxygen vacancies . Also, the enhancement of electron density on active sites improves the acidity and basicity of catalyst to construct the acid-base pair sites for high efficiency of biodiesel production . The SrZr 0.75 Fe 0.25 O 3 catalyst shows the strongest catalytic activity and the maximum FAME yield of 99.5% is achieved at the reaction temperature of 178 °C, catalyst amount of 4.5 wt%, methanol to oil molar ratio of 19:1 and reaction duration of 3.4 h through optimizing reaction parameters by convolutional neural network . The catalyst exhibits strong acid resistance and the FAME yield of 93.9% is achieved with 30 wt% oleic acid addition, where methanol is readily adsorbed to Sr site for transesterification and free fatty acids are readily adsorbed to Fe site for esterification. In addition, the SrZr 0.75 Fe 0.25 O 3 catalyst shows satisfactory reusability and the FAME yield of 96.2% is maintained for the fifth reused cycle.

Biodiesel and valuable free lutein were demonstrated to be simultaneously produced from Chlorella vulgaris lipid extracts. The alkali catalyst used in the transesterification of triglycerides acted as a reactant in converting lutein fatty acid esters to free lutein. A maximum biodiesel yield of 33.6 % by weight of the algal lipids was obtained after a 4-h reaction with MeOH at the MeOH/biomass ratio of 16:1 using 6 % alkali catalyst. The excess of alkali and MeOH employed in the production of biodiesel ensured the complete saponification of all lutein fatty acid esters to free lutein, giving a maximum yield of 2.3 % by weight of the algal lipids. In addition, a process for the separation of the biodiesel and free lutein products from the reaction mixture is proposed. Finally, a preliminary economic assessment was conducted, the results of which suggest that the process for the simultaneous production of biodiesel and lutein from C. vulgaris may be economically feasible.

Recently, Pickering interfacial catalyst (PIC) was widely applied for liquid-liquid reactions, in view of not only intensifying the mass transfer through significant reducing both the drop sizes and the diffusion distance, but also supplying a flexible platform for the immobilization of valuable active sites. However, the restriction of the mobility of catalyst somehow decreases the activity of a catalyst. To obtain a promise reaction efficiency, we firstly report a synergistic method to enhance the biphasic reaction by Pickering emulsion and ultrasound concepts, targeted at efficient production of biodiesel. Response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design was applied to optimize the reaction conditions, such as composition of catalyst, reaction temperature, ultrasound power, methanol to oil molar ratio and catalyst amount. An over 98% yield of biodiesel could be achieved within 2.5 hours by ultrasound assisted Pickering interfacial catalysis, which is over two times higher than that of ultrasound assisted homogeneous transesterification system. Besides, the ultrasound assisted Pickering emulsion shortened the reaction time by 3.6 fold when compared to mechanical stirring assisted Pickering emulsion system.

The development of novel biocatalysts is essential to promote the commercialization of biodiesel production by transesterification reaction. In this paper, Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) was immobilized on an amino-functionalized zirconium-based metal organoskeleton by interfacial adsorption. The immobilization conditions were optimized and the enzymatic properties were tested, and the resulting novel biocatalysts exhibited higher stability and heat resistance. SEM, XRD and BET analyses were used to characterize the biocatalysts and carrier materials. The catalytic performance of ROL@UiO-66-NH 2 in the production of biodiesel by transesterification reaction was explored, and the production process was optimized by response surface method. The results showed that the conversion rate of FAEE reached 82.05% at molar ratio of ethanol/oil of 15.43:1, reaction temperature of 50.28°C, reaction time of 120.9 min, DES addition of 48.08 wt%, biocatalyst addition of 3 wt%, and ultrasonic power of 90 W. In addition, ROL@UiO-66-NH 2 demonstrated good recyclability, with the catalytic efficiency remaining at 71.87% after five cycles.

Dimethyl-carbonate (DMC) is a green carboxymethylation agent for synthesis of the versatile long-chain alkyl carbonates through base-catalyzed transesterification with aliphatic alcohols. Herein, we demonstrated the facile preparation of a novel heterogeneous base catalyst α-KMgPO4using commercially cheap metal salts via hydrothermal-calcination procedure. The combination of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and FTIR measurements with CO2pre-adsorbed revealed the presence of weak and medium base sites on α-KMgPO4. Furthermore, α-KMgPO4catalyzed transesterification of DMC and n-octanol was performed in a sealed-vessel reactor (Monowave 50). The results show that the reaction was completed in only 10 min with the 97.5% conversion of n-octanol and >99% selectivity to asymmetric methyl-octyl carbonate under the optimal conditions. Additionally, the possible catalytic mechanism is proposed. As an extended contribution, the tribology performance of the asymmetric methyl-alkyl carbonates was further evaluated.Keywords:catalyst;α-KMgPO4;transesterification;asymmetric carbonates;Monowave 50 reactor
