Catalytic Synthesis of Diethanolamide Surfactant from Used Cooking Oil

One of the vegetable oils that can be used as a surfactant is extracts of phenolic compounds from virgin coconut oil (VCO) or VCO residue.The purpose of this study was to make surfactants from VCO residue and to obtain the correct ratio of reactants and the appropriate concentration of NaOH catalyst to produce diethanolamide surfactant.The materials used are methyl ester from VCO residue and dietanolamine with NaOH catalyst. The amidation process uses a mole ratio of dietanolamine and methyl ester (1:1, 1.25: 1, 1.5: 1, 1.75: 1 and 2: 1) at a temperature of 160 ° C for 3 hours, and a NaOH catalyst with a concentration of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75%.The results showed that the treatment of the ratio of methyl ester and diethanolamine and the concentration of NaOH catalyst produced DEA surfactant with the same consistency, namely a semi-solid viscous liquid with a clear yellow color.The higher the concentration of catalyst, the yield tends to increase.. All DEA surfactant products have a pH of 10, with viscosities ranging from 252.47 - 509.89 cP, soaping numbers ranging from 35.22 - 52.95 mg KOH / g, and glycerol levels from 0.08 to 29%.
