Abstract

Successful preparation of the ethanolamide based nonionic biosurfactant materials from castor oil and used palm oil waste through a chemical modification process has been reported. Both oil wastes have been transesterified with methanol under the alkaline condition to yield 93.32 and 80.30% of methyl esters. The ricinoleic acid and 9,10,12-trihydroxystearic acid compounds are obtained in 93.44 and 94.86% yield; while the amidation of the methyl esters in a solvent-free reaction gives ricinoleyl ethanolamide in 49.81% yield, and biomaterials containing lauryl ethanolamide, myristyl ethanolamide, palmityl ethanolamide, and oleoyl ethanolamide derivatives yielded in 74.48%. The chemical structures of the products have been confirmed by FTIR, GC-MS, and 1H-NMR spectrometers. Almost all biosurfactant materials gave higher HLB and lower surface tension compared with the Tween 80 as a positive control. Even though only ricinoleic acid and ethanolamide derivatives exhibit lower critical micelle concentration than the positive control, the ethanolamide derivatives from used palm oil give a stable foam volume up to 70 mL for 90 min and also give a stable emulsion between distilled water and gasoline to 5 days, which is remarkable. These findings show that the ethanolamide derivatives from castor oil and used palm oil waste are promising nonionic biosurfactant materials for industrial applications.
