In this work, ultrasound was used to assist the ethanolysis of castor oil in a solvent-free system, catalyzed by a dry fermented solid containing the lipase from Burkholderia contaminans (BCFS). Reactions were done at 45°C. The maximum conversion in Erlenmeyer flasks was 71% in 96 h, using a loading of 9% (mass of BCFS in relation to the mass of triacylglycerols in the castor oil) and a molar ratio of ethanol:oil of 6:1, with addition of ethanol in 12 steps. In a packed-bed reactor containing 12 g of BCFS, the conversions were 78% in 48 h, and 83% in 72 h with an ethanol to oil molar ratio of 3:1 and treatment with an ultrasound probe, with maximum power of 500 W, frequency of 20 kHz, and 75% of the maximum power. These results are promising given that, with an ultrasound assisted bioreactor, a higher conversion in a shorter time was achieved, with a lower ethanol to oil molar ratio than was the case in the Erlenmeyer flasks without ultrasound.
