Abstract

Abstract: The polymerization of fatty acid methyl ester was investigated using biodiesel as the feed in the presence of a Brönsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquid (IL). A synergetic effect of Brönsted and Lewis acid sites enhanced the catalytic performance of the IL. 1-(3-Sulfonic acid)-propyl-3-methylimidazole chlorozincinate ([HO3S-(CH2)3-mim]Cl-ZnCl2, molar fraction of ZnCl2 was 0.67) was an efficient catalyst for the polymerization. The effects of catalyst amount, reaction temperature, and reaction time were investigated. The optimum conditions for the polymerization were: biodiesel 15 g, m(biodiesel):m(IL) = 15:1, reaction temperature 240 oC, and reaction time 6 h, which gave 63.2% yield of dimeric acid methyl ester. The reusability of the IL was good and after it was used five times, the dimeric acid methyl ester yield was still > 63%.
