  • USE OF MAGNETIC MESOPOROUS POLY(IONIC LIQUID) INTERFACIAL CATALYST IN HYDROGENATION REACTION AND PREPARATION OF BIODIESEL
    Publication number: 20230182122
    Abstract: The disclosure provides use of an efficient, recyclable, green and friendly catalyst to realize a method of hydrogenation of an unsaturated alkene, and a method for preparing biodiesel through the transesterification of soybean oil with ethanol. The method of hydrogenation of the unsaturated alkene comprises performing a hydrogenation reaction of an unsaturated alkene at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure by using a CO2 and magnetic dual-responsive mesoporous poly(ionic liquid) as a catalyst I, and using n-hexane and water as a solvent, to obtain a corresponding saturated alkane. The method for preparing biodiesel through transesterification of soybean oil with ethanol comprises performing a transesterification reaction of soybean oil with ethanol at a temperature of 25-90° C. and atmospheric pressure by using a CO2 and magnetic dual-responsive mesoporous poly(ionic liquid) as a catalyst II, to obtain the biodiesel.
