Researchers from France and Spain have shown a highly efficient biocatalytic process for biodiesel synthesis in the ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-octadecylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide.
The ionic liquid (IL) is able to dissolve triolein/methanol mixtures in many proportions, providing an homogeneous monophasic media suitable for the enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel (up to 96 % yield in 6 h at 60 °C). The enzyme/IL system can be reused for seven operation cycles without any loss in IL phase or enzyme activity.
