- Abstract
Coconut oil as a surfactant can be derived from renewable, cleaner, and purer resources than petrochemical-based raw materials. Therefore, this study was conducted to obtain the required criteria for forming a surfactant such as diethanolamide. During the analysis, diethanolamide surfactant was produced, with the procedure separated into transesterification and amidation. The transesterification process was carried out by reacting palm oil and methanol with sulfuric acid to form a methyl ester. The amidation process follows this process by reacting the methyl ester and diethanolamine with a NaOH catalyst to form a diethanolamide surfactant. Furthermore, the best conditions in the amidation process were obtained when the mole ratio of methyl esters to diethanolamine was 1 to 5, and the NaOH content of 5% was converted to 68.95%, with the qualification of surfactant diethanolamide and CMC values at 5 g/mL. The HLB value of 5.940 means that this surfactant can be applied to W/O or Water in Oil emulsifiers.
