Naushad, Mu.; Ahamad, Tansir; Khan, Mohammad Rizwan published the artcile< Fabrication of magnetic nanoparticles supported ionic liquid catalyst for transesterification of vegetable oil to produce biodiesel>, Electric Literature of 112-63-0, the main research area is butylimidazole magnetic nanoparticle ionic liquid transesterification catalyst.
In the present study, we have fabricated novel magnetic ionic liquid based nanocomposites using 1-butylimidazole, 3-bromopropyl-trimethoxysilane and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. NiFe2O4@-BMSIHSO4 was synthesized from NiFe2O4@-BMSI Br via ion-exchange process. The fabricated nanocomposites were characterized by various anal. techniques. The surface area was determined using N2 adsorption-desorption anal. and the BET surface area of NiFe2O4@BMSI Br and NiFe2O4@BMSI HSO4 was noted to be 89.21 and 87.21 m2/g, resp. The fabricated nanocomposites were used as catalyst for the transesterification of palm oil (VO) for the production of biodiesel. The results revealed that NiFe2O4@BMSI HSO4 exhibited better performance in terms of biodiesel yield; a maximum i.e. 86.4% yield was obtained using NiFe2O4@BMSI HSO4 while in the case of NiFe2O4@BMSI Br, about ∼74.6% yield was found with 5% weight/weight catalyst loading, 353 K and to CH3OH ratio of 1:12 in 8 h. The reusability of the catalyst results revealed that the catalytic activity of the catalysts still remained about 92.7% and 88.1% with NiFe2O4@BMSI HSO4 and NiFe2O4@BMSI Br, resp. after six cycles which may be accredited to the handling loss during the manipulation process.
