Abstract:The current manuscript describes the advantages of ionic liquids and lipases (enzymes) association towards a clean biodiesel. Acidic and basic catalytic processes, as their technological drawbacks are discussed herein. The main interaction between such enzymes and ionic liquids are presented for a better understanding of the improvement on the catalytic activity of lipase enzymes when these biocatalysts are supported on an ionic media. Selected examples of recent scientific literature are described to show the promising and powerful combination towards a clean biodiesel synthesis.Keywords: Biodiesel; enzymes; ionic liquids. ResumoO presente artigo descreve as vantagens decorrentes da combinação de líquidos iônicos com enzimas (lipases) visando à obtenção de um biodiesel mais limpo. São discutidos os processos catalisados por ácidos e por bases e as suas desvantagens são discutidas. As principais interações entre as enzimas e os líquidos iônicos são apresentadas para se entender o porquê de uma melhora na atividade catalítica de lipases quando estes biocatalisadores são suportados neste meio iônico. Exemplos selecionados da literatura científica atual são descritos para exemplificar o poder e a perspectiva desta combinação tão promissora para a síntese de um biodiesel limpo.Palavras-chave: Biodiesel; enzimas; líquidos iônicos.
