Abstract

Glycerol Monooleate is the non-ionic surfactant that can be produced by the esterification reaction of oleic acid and glycerol. The purpose of this research was to produce Glycerol monooleate using H-ZSM-5 catalyst and microwave as a heat source, and to study all the effect of reaction ratio, reaction time, amount of catalyst and operating temperature. The use of microwave as a heat source serves to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the esterification process so that the required processing time is faster. The esterification process is carried out using microwave power of 300 watt. Based on the results of the study, the optimum conditions were obtained at a ratio of 2:1 reactant, 1% catalyst weight, reaction time of 50 minutes, and reaction temperature of 160°C with a yield value of 92.02%. So, it can be concluded that the use of a microwave can increase the processing time 40 minutes faster than conventional heaters.
