Synthesis of biodiesel over ZnO/Ca(OH)2/KF catalyst prepared by the grinding method

A novel ZnO/Ca(OH)₂/KF solid base catalyst was prepared by the grinding method and applied to biodiesel synthesis by the transesterification of soybean oil. The effect of various parameters such as KF molar amount, calcination temperature, the amount of catalyst, molar ratio of methanol to oil, reaction temperature, and time on the activity of the catalyst were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by several techniques of thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry, X–ray diffraction, Hammett indicator method, and scanning electron microscopy. The analysis results indicated that the KF interacted with Ca(OH)₂ and formed KCaF₃ phase before calcination of the catalyst. The formed KCaF₃ crystal phase was the main catalytic active component for the catalyst activity. In addition, the basicity of ZnO/Ca(OH)₂/KF was greatly influenced by the different calcination temperates, and the catalyst activity was correlated closely with the basicity. A desired biodiesel yield of 97.6 % was obtained at catalyst amount of 3 %, methanol/oil of 12:1, and reaction time of 1.5 h at 65 °C.     

Magnetic Solid Base Catalyst Fe3O4@Gly Used as Acid‐Resistant Catalyst for Biodiesel Production

Fe₃O₄@Gly nanoparticles were synthetized by coprecipitation and studied in the transesterification of soybean oil and methanol to determine its performance for biodiesel synthesis. The magnetism and catalytic performance of Fe₃O₄@Gly alkaline catalyst were investigated in detail. With a catalyst dosage 1.5 wt %, methanol/soybean oil ratio of 15:1, reaction temperature of 65 °C, and a reaction time of 3 h, the highest yield of biodiesel was 95.8%. The strong base catalyst CaO was used as comparison, from which it was seen that Fe₃O₄@Gly was more hydrophobic than the former. Moreover, because of the complete dissolution of oleic acid in methanol, Fe₃O₄@Gly could make better contact with oleic acid, which made it perform far better than pure CaO in oleic acid. In addition, after four times recycling, the yield of biodiesel was still 86.6%. The results show that Fe₃O₄@Gly possesses excellent properties of acid resistance and recyclability. The catalyst can be a high‐efficiency alkaline heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production.     

Evaluation of the effect of Si/Mo and oil/alcohol ratios in the production of biodiesel from soybean oil

Mo-KIT-6 catalysts precursors obtained by direct hydrothermal synthesis using different Si/Mo molar ratios (10, 20, 30) were evaluated in the production of biodiesel from the transesterification of soybean oil with methanol. A 2² + 3PtCt factorial design was used to evaluate the influence of alcohol/oil and Si/Mo ratios on biodiesel yield. ANOVA statistical analysis showed that Si/Mo ratio was the most significant variable. The factorial design showed that the optimal conditions for maximizing the biodiesel yield are: using the 10_Mo-KIT-6 catalyst, and an alcohol/oil ratio of 20/1 at 150 °C for 3 h. However, using the 20_Mo-KIT-6 catalyst with an alcohol/oil ratio of 15/1 the biodiesel yield is close to the maximum, having the advantage of using a lower amount of methanol, which means that the separation of non-reacted alcohol will consume less energy.

Synthesis of micronized CaO assisted by NH4HCO3 with Ca(OH)2 and its application in heterogeneously catalyzing transesterification reaction for producing biodiesel

Micronized CaO with pores was synthesized by calcining the reaction product CaCO₃ from NH₄HCO₃ and Ca(OH)₂. Scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, X‐ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis were used to characterize CaO, which confirmed that after calcining at 800°C for 2 hr, CaCO₃ was completely converted into porous micronized CaO with a surface area of about 7.295 m²/g and a particle size of 0.5–1.5 μm. The porous CaO microparticles were used as heterogeneous catalysts for producing biodiesel from transesterification of soybean oil and methanol. The influences of reaction time, calcined temperature, and reusability of CaO were explored. The experiments showed that CaO has high catalytic activity for transesterification reaction, and the yield of biodiesel reaches more than 98% under the conditions of methanol/oil mole ratio of 9, and the catalyst amount (catalyst/oil) of 3% after reaction for 2.5 hr. The CaO catalyst can be recycled easily and it also has the advantage of low pollution. Simple synthetic route, low cost, high catalytic activity, good reusability, and great potential for industrialization are the advantages of the porous micronized CaO catalyst that was proposed in this work.

The use of impregnated perlite as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production from marula oil

In this study, biodiesel was produced from marula (Sclerocarya birrea) oil using impregnated perlite with potassium hydroxide (KOH) as a heterogeneous catalyst. The effect of experimental variables such as temperature (°C), reaction time (h), methanol to oil ratio (mass %), and catalyst to oil ratio (mass %) on the transesterification process were investigated. Using a central composite design (CCD), a mathematical model was developed to correlate the experimental variables with the percentage yield of biodiesel. The model showed that optimum conditions for biodiesel production were as follows: catalyst to oil ratio of 4.7 mass %, temperature of 70.4°C, methanol to oil ratio of 29.9 mass %, and reaction time of 3.6 h. The yield of 91.4 mass % of biodiesel was obtained. It was also possible to recycle and reuse the modified perlite up to three times without any significant change in its catalytic activity. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area showed no modifications in the perlite structure. The results show that the important fuel properties of marula biodiesel meet the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) biodiesel standard properties.

Biodiesel Production via the Transesterification of Soybean Oil Using Waste Starfish (Asterina pectinifera)

Calcined waste starfish was used as a base catalyst for the production of biodiesel from soybean oil for the first time. A batch reactor was used for the transesterification reaction. The thermal characteristics and crystal structures of the waste starfish were investigated by thermo-gravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. The biodiesel yield was determined by measuring the content of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The calcination temperature appeared to be a very important parameter affecting the catalytic activity. The starfish-derived catalyst calcined at 750 °C or higher exhibited high activity for the transesterification reaction. The FAME content increased with increasing catalyst dose and methanol-over-oil ratio.

Transesterification of Soybean Oil Catalyzed by Calcium Hydroxide which Obtained from Hydrolysis Reaction of Calcium Carbide

Calcium carbide residue (CCR) was investigated in transesterification reaction of triglycerides to determine its viability as a solid catalyst for biodiesel synthesis. Literature survey showed that CCR has never been studied as a solid catalyst in the transesterification of triglyceride. The scope of the study includes the effects of CCR calcination temperature, calcination time, the alcohol/oil molar ratio, the catalyst amount (wt % of oil) and the reaction time. The relationship between chemical composition and catalytic activity of waste cement was also investigated. These CCR catalysts, thermally activated at 600 °C, can give rise to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) purity higher than 99.5%, after 3 h of reaction, when oil/methanol molar ratio of 1/12 and 1 wt % of the catalyst were employed. Application of CCR as catalyst for biodiesel production in this study may not only provide a cost‐effective and environment friendly way of recycling CCR waste but also reduce hopefully the cost of biodiesel production.     

(CaO-Y2O3)@LiFe5O8 magnetic catalyst by doping yttrium for improving stability: Optimized by response surface methodology for biodiesel production

In this work, CaO@LiFe₅O₈ and (CaO-Y₂O₃)@LiFe₅O₈ solid base catalysts were synthesized using LiFe₅O₈ as the magnetic core to support the active centers. The as-prepared catalysts and commercial CaO were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscope, and CO₂-temperature-programmed desorption techniques. The results indicated that CaO@LiFe₅O₈ and (CaO-Y₂O₃)@LiFe₅O₈ solid base catalysts, which could be recycled under the external magnetic field because of their strong magnetism, exhibited better dispersibility and higher total number of basic sites compared with commercial CaO. Additional water and oleic acid were added to the reaction system of palm oil with methanol, and the catalyst was exposed to air to detect its stability in the reaction process. The experiments showed that the (CaO-Y₂O₃)@LiFe₅O₈ solid base catalyst performed better and possessed not only good water resistance ability but also preferable tolerance to air exposure. In addition, response surface methodology based on the Box–Behnken design was used to optimize the process parameters for the synthesis of biodiesel from palm oil and methanol in the presence of (CaO-Y₂O₃)@LiFe₅O₈. The optimum process conditions were determined as follows: reaction temperature was 64.96°C, reaction time 4.36 hr, methanol: oil 13, catalyst amount 3.73%, and the highest biodiesel yield reached 96.21%.     

Soybean biodiesel methyl esters,free glycerin and acid number quantification by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Production of alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, from transesterification of vegetable oil driven by heterogeneous catalysts is a promising alternative to fossil diesel. However, achieving a successful substitution for a new renewable fuel depends on several quality parameters. ¹H NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the amount of methyl esters, free glycerin and acid number in the transesterification of soybean oil with methanol in the presence of hydrotalcite‐type catalyst to produce biodiesel. Reaction parameters, such as temperature and time, were used to evaluate soybean oil methyl esters rate conversion. Temperatures of 100 to 180 °C and times of 20 to 240 min were tested on a 1 : 12 molar ratio soybean oil/methanol reaction. At 180 °C/240 min conditions, a rate of 94.5 wt% of methyl esters was obtained, where free glycerin and free fatty acids were not detected. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Comparison and optimisation of biodiesel production from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Jatropha curcas</Emphasis> oil using supercritical methyl acetate and methanol

In this study, biodiesel has been successfully produced by transesterification using non-catalytic supercritical methanol and methyl acetate. The variables studied, such as reaction time, reaction temperature and molar ratio of methanol or methyl acetate to oil, were optimised to obtain the optimum yield of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). Subsequently, the results for both reactions were analysed and compared via Response Surface Methodology (RSM) analysis. The mathematical models for both reactions were found to be adequate to predict the optimum yield of biodiesel. The results from the optimisation studies showed that a yield of 89.4 % was achieved for the reaction with supercritical methanol within the reaction time of 27 min, reaction temperature of 358°C, and methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 44. For the reaction in the presence of supercritical methyl acetate, the optimum conditions were found to be: reaction time of 32 min, reaction temperature of 400°C, and methyl acetate-to-oil molar ratio of 50 to achieve 71.9 % biodiesel yield. The differences in the behaviour of methanol and methyl acetate in the transesterification reaction are largely due to the difference in reactivity and mutual solubility of Jatropha curcas oil and methanol/methyl acetate.
