Abstract

High biodiesel yield was obtained by using poly (acidic ionic liquid)s. The ionic liquid monomer was synthesized through quaternary ammonization on the N,N-Dimethyl-3-aminophenol with 1,3-propanesultone and p-Hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid. The IL monomer and formaldehyde was used to synthesize the poly(acidic ionic liquid)s. Several physicochemical techniques were used in the characterization of this poly(acidic ionic liquid)s. The esterification of oleic acid and methanol was used to investigate the catalytic activity of the synthesized catalyst. In order to obtain the maximum yield, four parameters (reaction time, amount of methanol, temperature and catalyst amount) were considered. In the optimum condition (5 wt% catalyst amount, 9:1 methanol/oleic acid ratio at 80 °C for 1.5 h), the ester yield was up to 93.3%. After four cycles of use, the catalytic activity of FCPIL did not exhibit significant decline.
