The study aims to prepare an efficient and magnetically separable Bronsted acid catalyst for converting low-quality oils to biodiesel. By coating silica shells on magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and grafting copolymerization of dual acidic ionic liquids, a solid catalyst with strong catalytic activity was obtained. This catalyst shows good catalytic activities towards transesterification of soybean oil and esterification of free fatty acids, making it a robust solid acid catalyst for one-pot biodiesel production from low-quality acidic oils.
The objective of the current research is to prepare an efficient and magnetically separable Bronsted acid catalyst for one-pot transformation of low-quality oils to biodiesel. In this premise, the core shell structured magnetic composites were firstly prepared by coating of silica shells on magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Thereafter, the grafting copolymerization of dual acidic ionic liquids (ILs, 1 vinyl 3 (3 sulfopropyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate as an monomer and 1.4-butanediy1-3,3'-bis-l-vinylimidazoliu hydrogen sulfate as a cross-linker agent) on the magnetic silica composite was conducted to impart the richer Bronsted acidic functionality on the support. The detailed catalyst characterization results showed that the magnetic silica support was really formed, and moreover the polymeric acidic ILs were successfully grafted on the magnetic support. The so-prepared solid catalyst had a large surface acidity (3.93 meq H+/g) and strong magnetism (27.5 emu/g). Benefiting from the synergism between the polymeric ILs and magnetic porous support, this developed catalyst displayed good catalytic activities toward both the transesterification of soybean oil and esterification of free fatty acids (FFAs), which endowed it to be a robust solid acid catalyst for one-pot biodiesel production from low-quality acidic oils. The solid catalyst could be simply recovered by an external magnet with minor loss of catalytic activity within five cycles, and further showed insensitivities to moisture and FFAs present in the feedstocks, possessing both feconomic and environmental advantages for the application in biodiesel production especially from the low-quality oils.
