In this research, biodiesel was produced from new feedstock Kemiri Sunan oil. Kemiri Sunan oil is non edible oil, an attractive raw material for production of biodiesel. Biodiesel was produced by two steps of reactions, i.e. esterification and transesterification, using H2SO4 and KOH as catalyst, respectively. Esterification reaction was carried out with methanol for 2 h, ratio oil:methanol (3:1). Transesterification was done at various catalyst concentration (0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 %wt oil), ratio oli:methanol (1:1, 2:1, 3:1 (wt/wt)), and reaction temperature (30, 50, 65, 70oC) for 1 h. The yield and properties of biodiesel were analysed by Gas Chromatography (GC) and ASTM D 6751 methods, respectively. High yield of biodiesel was produced at KOH 1 %wt catalyst, ratio methanol:oil (1:1) and 65oC i.e. 96,91 %. Kemiri Sunan oil-based biodiesel had a range of acid number 0,41-0,56 (mgKOH/g), densitas 0,89-0,91 (g/cm3), viscosity 8,28-12,70 (cSt), cetane number 58,2-63,3, and residu carbon 0,23-0,59.\Keyword : Kemiri sunan Oil (Reutealis trisperma Oil), yield biodiesel, KOH. Pada penelitian ini, biodiesel diproduksi dari new feedstock minyak Kemiri Sunan.

The synthesis of glycerol mono oleic from oleic acid and glycerol is classified as an esterification reaction. This research is aimed to study the influent of reaction temperature and catalyst concentration on reaction conversion. During the experiment the temperature of reaction mixture was varied as 110 oC, 130 oC, and 150 oC, while the catalyst concentration of 1%, 3 %, and 5% was used. The batch experiment was conducted in a glass reactor equipped with termometer, agitator, and reflux condensor. The oleic acid – glycerol mol ratio of 1 : 2 was used as a mixture feed. To maintain the reaction temperature at certain level, the oil bath was used. After the temperature of reaction mixture was reached the expected value, then H2SO4 catalyst was added to the reactor.  To measure the extent of the reaction, every 30 minutes the sample was drawn out from the reactor vessel. The sample analysis include acid number, density, and viscosity measurement. From this research the optimum condition which is the temperature of reaction of 150 oC and 1% catalyst concentration was obtained. At this optimum condition the convertion reach 86% and the analysis of other physical properties of the product show the acid number of 24.12, the density of 0.922 g/cc, and the viscosity of 118.4 cp.

Abstract Rubber is amenable to treatment by the process of hydrogenation-cracking at a pressure of 200 atmospheres of hydrogen and at temperatures above 360°. The rubber is suitably treated in a continuous plant in the form of a solution containing 50% of rubber and 50% of an oil boiling above 200° obtained by the hydrogenation of rubber. At a reaction temperature of 450–480°, and in the presence of a molybdenum catalyst, a high yield of spirit (boiling up to 200°) is obtained. In one passage of the raw material over the catalyst the yield is from 40 to 60% by weight of the rubber solution, the remainder being oil (53 to 18%) and gaseous hydrocarbons. The crude product is a pale yellow mobile oil, and the fraction boiling below 200° a water-clear spirit. The latter contains aromatic 15, unsaturated 1.5, and saturated hydrocarbons 83.5%. It therefore requires only very little refining to make it stable on storage. As the reaction temperature is lowered, the yield of spirit decreases, while that of high-boiling oil increases. The high-boiling oil also becomes more viscous. Thus at 370° the yields, as percentages by weight of the rubber solution, are: spirit boiling up to 200° 10.6%, and oil boiling above 200° 87.6%. The latter is distilled to produce 46.7% of Diesel oil, 21.5% of lubricating oil, and 19.4% of residue. The greater part of the Diesel oil and the high-boiling residue is required to prepare rubber solution for use as the raw material. Rubber can therefore be treated by a hydrogenation-cracking process to yield either motor spirit alone or motor spirit, fuel oil, and lubricating oil, depending on the temperature of treatment. As a commercial project the rubber treated would require to be surplus production available to the process at a much lower cost than that of rubber purchased in the normal market.

Esterification and transesterification processes for biodiesel production generate glycerol which is possible to be converted into triacetin. It is an actractive bioadditive for increasing octane number of fuel. The production of this bioadditive in a biodiesel plant also increases the revenue as raw material comes from biodiesel process production as by-product.This study examines the effects of catalyst concentration and temperature on triacetin production using glycerol from esterification process and acetic acid at volume ratio of 1:3 as raw materials. An activated charcoal as catalyst is activated with sulfuric acid at concentration of 2% and 3% (w/w). The esterification temperatures are varied at 90 and 100°C and the reaction time is set for 3 hours. The samples are taken frequently at certain interval times of 15, 30, and 60 minutes for chemical analysis using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectometry. It is observed that using 2% and 3% (w/w) of catalysts at 90°C and 60 minutes reaction time converts 41.037% and 57.441% of glycerol respectively.

Nyamplung seed (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) oil is a prospective non-edible vegetable oil as biodiesel feedstock. However, it cannot be directly used in the alkaline catalysed transesterification reaction since it contains high free fatty acid (FFA) of 19.17%. The FFA content above 2% will cause saponification reaction, reducing the biodiesel yield. In this work, FFA removal was performed using sulfuric acid catalysed esterification to meet the maximum FFA amount of 2%. Experimental work and response surface methodology (RSM) analysis were conducted. The reaction was conducted at the fixed molar ratio of nyamplung seed oil and methanol of 1:30 and the reaction times of 120 minutes. The catalyst concentration and the reaction temperature were varied. The highest reaction conversion was 78.18%, and the FFA concentration was decreased to 4.01% at the temperature of 60℃ and reaction time of 120 minutes. The polynomial model analysis on RSM demonstrated that the quadratic model was the most suitable FFA conversion optimisation. The RSM analysis exhibited the optimum FFA conversion of 78.27% and the FFA content of 4%, attained at the reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, and reaction time of 59.09℃, 1.98% g/g nyamplung seed oil, and 119.95 minutes, respectively. Extrapolation using RSM predicted that the targeted FFA content of 2% could be obtained at the temperature, catalyst concentration, and reaction time of 58.97℃, 3%, and 194.9 minutes, respectively, with a fixed molar ratio of oil to methanol of 1:30. The results disclosed that RSM is an appropriate statistical method for optimising the process variable in the esterification reaction to obtain the targeted value of FFA.

Abstract Nowadays, biodiesel is drawing attention as a renewable and clean alternative to fossil diesel fuel because of numerous advantages such as higher flash point, cetane number and density. However, the high viscosity of biodiesel is one of the critical shortcomings and it causes poor atomization, decrease in engine performance and increase in exhaust emissions. To overcome this shortcoming, in this study, the effects of main transesterification reaction variables on the viscosities of produced safflower oil methyl and ethyl esters (biodiesel) were investigated as a full factorial experimental design, and optimum parametric values giving the lowest viscosity were determined. Density and viscosity were measured according to ISO 4787 and DIN 53015 standards. Sodium ethoxide (C2H5ONa) was utilized as a catalyst, and 90 and 120 minutes of reaction duration were kept constant for methanolysis and ethanolysis reactions. According to the results, the optimal reaction parameters were determined as: 0.75 % catalyst concentration, 8:1 alcohol to oil molar ratio and 56 °C reaction temperature for methanolysis; 1.00 % catalyst concentration, 12:1 alcohol to oil molar ratio and 70 °C reaction temperature for ethanolysis. Based on the reaction parameters, the methyl and ethyl esters were produced with the lowest viscosities of 3.989 mm2/s and 4.393 mm2/s, respectively. In the light of results obtained in this study, similar studies on production of biodiesels from different oils and alcohols can be performed.

Global sustainability challenges prompt the world to modify its strategies and shift from a fossil-fuel-based economy to a bio-resources-based one and to the production of renewable biomass chemicals. Depolymerized suberinic acids (SA) were considered as an alternative resource to develop bio-polyols that can be further used in polyurethane (PU) material production. Birch (Betula pendula) outer bark was used as a raw material to obtain the SA, extracted with ethanol, and depolymerized with potassium hydroxide ethanol solution. By acidifying the filtrate to pH 5.0, 3.0, and 1.0 and drying it at 50 °C and 130 °C, 12 different SA potential feedstocks were obtained and characterized using chemical (total phenolics content, solubility in DMSO, acid, hydroxyl, and saponification number) and instrumental analytical methods (GC-MS, SEC-RID, DSC, and FTIR). Several bio-polyols were synthesized from the SA sample acidified to pH 1 and dried at 130 °C. Acid number and hydroxyl number values, the apparent viscosity and moisture content were measured. It was concluded that SA have a high enough saponification and acid value to investigate the polyol synthesis route via the esterification reaction. Moreover, SA had OH groups in their structure, which can be exploited for PU material development. The majority of SA compounds had relatively low molecular weight with <1300 Da that are suited for bio-polyol synthesis applied for rigid PU foam development. The synthesized bio-polyols had high hydroxyl number values necessary for bio-polyols to be used for rigid PU foam production.

The innocuous utilization of diseased swine carcasses is a key issue in reducing environmental pollution and ensuring safety in animal husbandry. In this study, by using fat from diseased swine carcasses as raw materials, response surface experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of reaction time, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, and methanol/oil molar ratio on the biodiesel purity and the optimum conditions for biodiesel production were determined. Furthermore, three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound assistance was adopted and kinetic analysis was performed. The results show that the influencing factors on biodiesel purity, in descending order, were determined to be reaction temperature > catalyst concentration > reaction time > methanol/oil molar ratio. Moreover, the maximum biodiesel purity was 93.7% under the following optimal conditions: catalyst concentration of 5.0 wt%; reaction temperature of 68 °C; methanol/oil molar ratio of 10:1; reaction time of 37 h. When 3D ultrasound assistance was adopted, the maximum biodiesel purity of 98.1% was obtained for the reaction process of 8 h under the ultrasound power and frequency of 500 W and 20 kHz, respectively. And the esterification reaction time was significantly reduced, compared to without ultrasound assistance. The results of kinetic analysis demonstrate that the reaction rate constants of the ultrasound group were 4.45–5.52 times greater than that of the control group. And the activation energy for the ultrasound group was 25.58 kJ/mol, which is 22.81% lower than that of the control group. This study will help to conduct large-batch biodiesel production from diseased swine carcasses in the future.

Abstract Uses of nanocatalysts have become more useful in optimizing catalytic reactions. They are known to enhance the rate of reaction by offering a greater number of active sites by possessing a high surface-to-volume ratio. In the present work, calcium oxide nanocatalysts were synthesized through the sol–gel method. The particle size of the nanocatalyst prepared ranged up to 8 nm. Soybean oil was used as the raw material for the synthesis of biodiesel. The synthesized nano-CaO was characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller). Average BET surface area analysis of the nanocatalyst was calculated to be 67.781 m2/g and pore diameter was 3.302 nm. Nano-CaO catalyst was used to synthesize biodiesel and optimize the reaction variables through optimization processes to achieve a high yield of biodiesel. The reaction variables that were optimized were catalyst amount, oil to methanol molar ratio and reaction temperature. Upon optimization, the conversion of biodiesel was found to be 97.61%. The optimized value of the reaction variables was: catalyst amount of 3.675 wt% with respect to oil, molar ratio (alcohol to oil) of 11:1, and reaction temperature of 60 °C for 2 h.

Dalam berat kering biji pepaya mengandung minyak hingga 30% sehingga berpotensi untuk digunakan sebagai bahan baku biodiesel. Transesterifikasi in situ merupakan langkah sederhana dalam menghasilkan biodiesel yaitu dengan cara mengeliminasi proses ekstraksi dan pemurnian minyak sehingga dapat menghemat biaya produksi dan memberikan hasil yang memuaskan. Reaksi satu fase dapat dibentuk dengan menambahkan co-solvent yang dapat meningkatkan kelarutan minyak. N-heksana merupakan co-solvent yang paling baik karena murah, tidak reaktif dan bertitik didih rendah (68oC) sehingga dapat dipisahkan secara co-distilasi bersama-sama dengan metanol. Gelombang mikro dapat merambat melewati cairan sehingga proses pemanasan akan berlangsung lebih efektif dan proses pembuatan biodiesel dapat dilakukan lebih singkat. Pada penelitian ini variasi daya yang digunakan adalah 30%, 50% dan 70% dari 399 watt serta waktu reaksi yaitu 2, 4, 6, 8 dan 10 menit. Hasil kemudian dianalisa menggunakan GC (Gas Chromatography). Didapatkan yield optimum sebesar 89,25% pada daya sebesar 70% dan waktu reaksi 8 menit. Yield optimum memiliki densitas sebesar 0,86 g/cm3 dan memiliki angka asam 0,28 mg KOH/g sampel. Hasil tersebut telah memenuhi SNI 7182:2015.In the dry weight of papaya seed oil contains up to 30%, so the potential to be used as raw material for biodiesel. Transesterification in situ is a simple step to produce biodiesel that is by eliminating extraction process and refining of oil so it can save on production costs and give satisfactory results. The reaction of one phase can be formed by adding a co-solvent to increase the solubility of oils.

Abstract The side-chain alkylation of cumene and ethylene over a solid superbase catalyst K/KOH/γ-Al2O3 is investigated. The effects of the reaction temperature, pressure, and time on the conversion of cumene and selectivity of tert-amylbenzene (TAB) are discussed. The experimental results show that the conversion of cumene to tert-pentylbenzene increases with the increase in reaction temperature and ethylene pressure. The catalytic reaction has certain operational flexibility in terms of the reaction temperature, pressure, and time. In addition, the catalytic reaction can achieve directional conversion. The optimum operating conditions are obtained using a single factor test. The conversion of cumene is 99.8% and the selectivity toward TAB is 97.9% under catalyst concentration of 4 wt%, reaction temperature of 55°C, reaction pressure of 0.45 MPa, and reaction time of 30 min. The deactivation of catalyst is mainly caused by oxygen and water in the raw material.
