SURFACTANT PRODUCTION OF METHYL ESTER SULFONATE FROM VIRGIN COCONUT OIL USING ALUMINUM OXIDE WITH MICROWAVE ASSISTANCE

Surfactant Production of Methyl Ester Sulfonate from Virgin Coconut Oil using Aluminum Oxide with Microwave Assistance

As a surfactant, methyl ester sulfonate (MES) can be produced from virgin coconut oil (VCO) raw materials through the following stages: transesterification, sulfonation, and purification.The transesterification process was carried out to produce methyl esters by reacting VCO with methanol in a mole ratio of 1:41 using Pedal Strap a 1% KOH catalyst
