Carcinogenic Substances

The illegal oil (coming from the waste cooking oil and animals’ fat, etc.) is being processed as daily edible oil by a series of processing programs in China. It contains enormous toxic carcinogenic substances such as aflatoxin, dioxins, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), etc. In China, 22 million tons of cooking oil is approximately consumed each year, however, 2-3 million tons (account for 10%) of the illegal oil is circulated back to the daily market finally. This research aims to analyze four parts among the illegal oil. It combines the Chinese food safety legal loophole with the treatments of other developed countries to solve China’s illegal oil problem. What’s more, carrying out a field survey is conducted to understand the source of the illegal oil and have a clear understanding of consumers’ usage. Next, the main reason for the spread of the illegal oil which is from the street stalls and restaurants is revealed. The new technique is also used to transform the illegal oil into biodiesel fuel (BDF), however, the material (the illegal oil) cannot be easily obtained due to many barriers and challenges in China. Based on the field survey results, setting up a specific feedback mechanism for restaurants/hotels and the other policy implications are proposed to China’s governments for solving the illegal oil issue in China.

The Impact

The use of fossil fuels as energy sources has grown to significantly be likely to have a major environmental impact. Reduction of world oil reserves and increasing environmental concerns have prompted alternative is found and renewable source of energy called biodiesel. Biodiesel fuel from vegetable oil is considered as the best candidates for diesel fuel replacement in diesel engines because of its closer. Fuel prices are going up day by day in the world. Thus, the means and methods have been trying for years to get fuel alternative outcomes. This study investigated the effects of different storage periods used in quality biodiesel blends (B5, B10, B15) of waste cooking oil and diesel fuel under low temperature and the temperature of the environment. Biodiesel samples were stored in glass containers under indoor conditions, and outdoor conditions for 10 weeks in total. These samples were monitored on a weekly basis through the test properties. The experimental density, viscosity, acid value, water content and flash point discussed in detail. Biodiesel storage at low temperatures is suitable and more advantageous because the impact on the physical properties is minimal and beneficial to slow down the degradation of biodiesel and storage.

Waste cooking oil has proven to be a problematic material in the developed countries since people usually pour waste cooking oil into the kitchen drainage because they unaware that this waste can be recycled. Thus, in this study, the converted waste cooking oil into polymer was fabricated by using hot compression machine and named as waste biopolymer (WB). Vibration transmissibility test was conducted to determine the WB characteristics before and after UV-irradiated. It is revealed the similar vibration transmissibility responses curves were obtained at 1mm, 0.1g and 0.15g base excitation levels for the entire testing frequency except for the displacement transmissibility from base to moveable top plate at 1.5 mm. There was only one resonance peak occurred over the testing frequency which was 15 - 23 Hz for the displacement transmissibility and 15 – 25 Hz for the acceleration transmissibility test on shaking table. No other variation used on the displacement and acceleration amplitude to control the transmissibility test of UV-irradiated WB system based on shaking table. Evidently, small changes on the frequency of the vibration transmissibility were shifted to higher value of UV-irradiated WB with overall percentages of changes are below 5% except for displacement transmissibility at 1.5 mm. This shows the photo-stability of WB after UV-irradiation is high and could be used for further study.

Cooking Oil

In recent decade, the demand for fuel as a source of energy has been dramatic. In fact, many oil and gas reservoirs are declining around the world. The use of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas is contributing to the phenomenon of global warming. This is because it emits high quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Thus, many researchers and energy companies are investigating the production of an environmental friendly fuel that reduces the emission of greenhouse gases. Thus, bio fuel is one of the most obvious alternative sustainable fuels that can be produced from used vegetable oil and animal fats as well. Indeed, it has several advantages. For example, a biodegradable and a renewable energy reduces global warming phenomenon. Thus, this work is an attempt to produce a biodiesel fuel from chicken fat and waste cooking oil. Also, it was found that it is possible to produce biodiesel from chicken fat and waste cooking oils using transesterification reaction method. Furthermore, the process optimization was also adopted; for example, methanol to oil ratio. It has been found that the yield percentages of the produced biodiesel is increased by increasing the amount of methanol. In addition, the maximum conversion to ester could be achieved at methanol: oil ratio about 7:1. at 60 °C.

Waste cooking oil (WCO) has been considered a low-cost and renewable feedstock for the production of biodiesel and biobased products if it can be economically and efficiently collected and recycled. The objective of this case study is to review the scientific background of WCO recycling in the literature in connection with the regulatory and promotional measures in Taiwan under the authorization of a legal waste management system. Furthermore, the updated information about the on-line reporting WCO amounts in Taiwan is also analyzed to illustrate its significant increase in the recycling status of WCO officially designated as one of the mandatory recyclable wastes since 2015. Finally, an overview of available utilization of WCO as biodiesel, fuel oil, and non-fuel related uses is briefly addressed in this paper. It shows that the collected amounts of WCO from residential and commercial sectors in Taiwan significantly increased from 1599 tonnes in 2015 to 12,591 tonnes, reflecting on the WCO recycling regulation effective since 2015. Practically, the most important option for this urban mining is to reuse WCO as an energy source for the productions of biodiesel and auxiliary fuel. Other non-fuel related uses include the production of soaps/detergents, C-18 fatty acids, and lubricants. However, the reuse of WCO as a feed additive should be banned to prevent it from re-entering the food chain.

In the developed countries, waste cooking oil has proven to be a problematic material since people usually pour waste cooking oil into the kitchen drainage because they unaware that this waste can be recycled. In this study, the waste cooking oil was converted into polymer, fabricated by using hot compression machine and named as waste biopolymer (WB). WB characteristics before and after UV-irradiated such as vibration damping, density and surface morphology were analysed in this study. Total damping ratio of WB changes more than 5% after 1000 hour UV-irradiation. UV-irradiation does not give major influence to the WB morphology since there is no big change for overall structure of UV-irradiated WB after 1000 hours of UV. Even though the density of UV-irradiated WB is decreasing with increasing exposure time to UV, but it gives good influence to the damping ratio. WB is expected to have a good service life even in a harsh UV environment thus it can be applied in many applications especially in automotive field and manufacturing packaging.
