This study used jatropha oil, waste cooing oil, and soybean oil as the raw materials for investigating effects of catalyst concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature, methanol-to-oil ratio, and catalyst types on biodiesel yield. The authors also heated up the oil to speed up the transesterification and to make the reaction more complete. Jatropha oil, waste cooing oil, and soybean oil were used as the raw materials, and three types of ionic liquid or zwitterionic liquid, [PyrMe][HSO4], [PyrMeBuS][HSO4], and [MorMeA][Br], were added as catalysts for co-catalysis while heating the oil raw materials to create the best operational condition for biodiesel production. For soybean oil used as the raw material, the best catalyzing effect (a 99.4% yield) was achieved by adding [MorMeA][Br] while the reaction time was 6min, reaction temperature was 70 ¢J, and the methanol-to-oil ratio was 9:1. Under the best reaction condition, catalyzing effect was compared between the addition of sulfate-containing ionic liquid and sulfate-containing zwitterionic liquid. The yield of the addition of sulfate-containing ionic liquid and sulfate-containing zwitterionic liquid were 97.2% and 98.7% respectively. It can be found from this study that for increasing biodiesel yield, the addition of zwitterionic liquid for co-catalysis is more effective than the addition of homogeneous ionic liquid. Comparing the best operational condition between jatropha oil and soybean oil, the best yield of jatropha oil and soybean oil was 98.5% and 99.4% respectively, while the concentration of sodium hydroxide was 0.75 wt%, [MorMeA][Br] of 1.00 wt% was added, the methanol-to-oil ratio was 9:1, the reaction time was 6 min, and the reaction temperature was 70¢J. As for disposed cooking oil, the best operational condition rendered a yield of 98.1% when the concentration of sodium hydroxide was 0.75 wt%, [MorMeA][Br] of 1.00 wt% was added, the methanol-to-oil ratio was 9:1, the reaction time was 7 min, and the reaction temperature was 70¢J. For waste cooking oil, because of the containing of impurities from frying, the yield was slightly lower and the reaction time was longer.
