In this research, dual step catalyzed process was implemented to prepare biodiesel from crude Citrullus colocynthis oil (CCO). Two ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized and evaluated as pre-catalyst for the FFA-esterification first step. A 1-methyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-imidazolium hydrogensulfate (MSBIMHSO4) showed a higher FFA conversion than the pyrazolium IL of 1-methyl-2-(4-sulfobutyl)-pyrazolium hydrogensulfate (MSBPHSO4). A 96.7% FFA conversion was achieved at the optimal conditions of 3.8 wt% of MSBIMHSO4, molar ratio of 12:1 methanol:CCO, 130 degrees C, and 600 rpm agitation rate for 2 h. In the second step, KOH-transesterification reaction of the esterified CCO was performed at 60 degrees C, 6:1 mole ratio of methanol:oil, and 600 rpm in a reaction system containing 1.0 wt% of catalyst for 50 min. The final yield in 98.8% revealed that the process proposed for novel CCO in this study led to a tolerable biodiesel, meeting the ASTM requirements for its utilization as a fuel. Furthermore, this new dual step catalyzed process could solve the old homogeneous-catalyzed processes drawbacks. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
