Novel SO3H-functionalized dicationic ionic liquids � A comparative study for esterification reaction by ultrasound cavitation and mechanical stirring for biodiesel production

This present article covers a comparative study of esterification reaction using either ultrasound cavitation or conventional mechanical stirring with a series of newly developed SO3H-functionalized dicationic ammonium- and DABCO-based acidic ionic liquids. As a baseline for performance evaluation,...
