However, soap formation remains a significant limitation, reducing the yield and complicating separation. Shortening the reaction time is a key strategy to mitigate this issue. In this work, the effect of CH 3 CO 2 Na and CH 3 CO 2 K on the alkaline methanolysis of soybean oil catalyzed by sodium methoxide was investigated to reduce reaction time. A zero-order reaction kinetic model was employed. Observed rate constants ( k obs ) were determined from online monitoring the refractive index of the reaction mixture. Experiments were conducted at temperatures of 40.0, 50.0, and 60.0 °C and stirring speeds of 400 and 800 rpm. Both salts provided an increase in k obs values compared to those in biodiesel synthesis in the absence of them. CH 3 CO 2 K proved to be the most effective additive by increasing k obs values by up to 90% for methanolysis at 800 rpm and 40.0 °C, while CH 3 CO 2 Na increased values by up to 60% at 800 rpm and 40.0 °C. The conversion of triglycerides to methyl esters was determined by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance, and an increase in conversion of up to 2.9 and 2.6% was observed in the presence of CH 3 CO 2 K and CH 3 CO 2 Na, respectively, after 60 min of reaction. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis confirmed that Na and K levels in biodiesel were below 0.5 mg kg –1, well within international fuel quality limits. These findings highlight the potential of sodium and potassium acetates as effective additives for reducing the time of reaction and improving biodiesel synthesis.
