The production of biodiesel from high free fatty acid mixed crude palm oil using a two-stage process was investigated. The kinetics of the reactions was determined in a batch reactor at various reaction temperatures. It was found that the optimum conditions for reducing high free fatty acid (FFA) in MCPO (8-12 wt.%/wt oil) using esterification was a 10:1 molar ratio of methanol to FFA and using 10 wt.%/wt of sulfuric acid (based on FFA) as catalyst. The subsequent transesterification reaction to convert triglycerides to the methyl ester was found to be optimal using 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to the triglyceride (TG) in MCPO and using 0.6 wt.%/volTG sodium hydroxide as catalyst. Both reactions were carried out in a stirred batch reactor over a period of 20 min at 55, 60 and 65 °C. The concentration of compounds in each sample was analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography/Flame Ionization Detector (TLC/FID), Karl Fischer, and titration techniques. The results were used for calculating the rate coefficients by using the curve-fitting tool of MATLAB. Optimal reaction rate coefficients for the forward and reverse esterification reactions of FFA were 1.340 and 0.682 l mol−1 min−1, respectively. The corresponding optimal transesterification, rate coefficients for the forward reactions of TG, diglyceride (DG), and monoglyceride (MG) of transesterification were 2.600, 1.186, and 2.303 l mol−1 min−1, and for the reverse reactions were 0.248, 0.227, and 0.022 l mol−1 min−1, respectively. 相似文献

The production of ethyl esters of fatty acids from a feed material of crude palm oil (CPO) with a high free fatty acid (FFA) content under microwave assistance has been investigated. Parametric studies have been carried out to investigate the optimum conditions for the esterification process (amount of ethanol, amount of catalyst, reaction time, and microwave power). As a result, a molar ratio of FFA to ethanol of 1:24 with 4% wt./wt. of H2SO4/FFA, a microwave power of 70 W, and a reaction time of 60 min have been identified as optimum reaction parameters for the esterification process aided by microwave heating. At the end of the esterification process, the amount of FFA had been reduced from 7.5 wt.% to less than 2 wt.%. Similar results were obtained following conventional heating at 70 °C, but only after a reaction time of 240 min. Transesterification of the esterified palm oil has been accomplished with a molar ratio of CPO to ethanol of 1:4, 1.5 wt.% KOH as a catalyst, a microwave power of 70 W, and a reaction time of 5 min. This two-step esterification and transesterification process provided a yield of 80 wt.% with an ester content of 97.4 wt.%. The final ethyl ester product met with the specifications stipulated by ASTM D6751-02. 相似文献

In this study, sulphuric acid (H2SO4) was used in the pretreatment of sludge palm oil for biodiesel production by an esterification process, followed by the basic catalyzed transesterification process. The purpose of the pretreatment process was to reduce the free fatty acids (FFA) content from high content FFA (> 23%) of sludge palm oil (SPO) to a minimum level for biodiesel production (> 2%). An acid catalyzed esterification process was carried out to evaluate the low content of FFA in the treated SPO with the effects of other parameters such as molar ratio of methanol to SPO (6:1-14:1), temperature (40-80 °C), reaction time (30-120 min) and stirrer speed (200-800 rpm). The results showed that the FFA of SPO was reduced from 23.2% to less than 2% FFA using 0.75% wt/wt of sulphuric acid with the molar ratio of methanol to oil of 8:1 for 60 min reaction time at 60 °C. The results on the transesterification with esterified SPO showed that the yield (ester) of biodiesel was 83.72% with the process conditions of molar ratio of methanol to SPO 10:1, reaction temperature 60 °C, reaction time 60 min, stirrer speed 400 rpm and KOH 1% (wt/wt). The biodiesel produced from the SPO was favorable as compared to the EN 14214 and ASTM D 6751 standard. 相似文献

Biodiesel has been synthesized from karanja, mahua and hybrid {karanja and mahua (50:50 v/v)} feedstocks. A high yield in the range of 95-97% was obtained with all the three feedstocks. Conversion of vegetable oil to fatty acid methyl esters was found to be 98.6%, 95.71% and 94% for karanja, mahua and hybrid feedstocks respectively. The optimized reaction parameters were found to be 6:1 (methanol to oil) molar ratio, H2SO4 (1.5% v/v), at 55 ± 0.5 °C for 1 h during acid esterification for the three feedstocks. During alkaline transesterification, a molar ratio of 8:1 (methanol to oil), 0.8 wt.% KOH (wt/wt) at 55 ± 0.5 °C for 1 h was found to be optimum to achieve high yield for karanja oil. For mahua oil and the hybrid feedstock, 6:1 (methanol to oil) molar ratio, 0.75 (w/w) KOH at 55 ± 0.5 °C for 1 h was optimum for alkaline transesterification to obtain a high yield. High yield and conversion from hybrid feedstock during transesterification reaction was an indication that the reaction was not selective for any particular oil. 1H NMR has been used for the determination of conversion of the feedstock to biodiesel. 相似文献

Sulfated zirconia (SO4-ZrO2) catalysts, prepared with three different sulfur loading contents (0.75%, 1.8% and 2.5%) at two calcination temperatures (500 °C and 700 °C), were tested for use in the transesterification of purified palm oil (PPO) and the esterification of palm fatty acid (PFA) in near-critical and super-critical methanol. Techniques including BET, XRD, NH3- and CO2-TPD revealed that the sulfur content and calcination temperature strongly affects the catalyst base-acid site, specific surface area, average pore size, phase structure, and thus the catalytic reactivity. The most suitable sulfur loading content was found to be 1.8% and the optimum calcination temperature 500 °C. The results show that the use of SO4-ZrO2 reduces esterification reaction times, the amount of methanol necessary and the required reaction temperature. The reactions at 250 °C in the presence of the SO4-ZrO2 catalyst at 0.5 w/w% catalyst to PPO or PFA were found to give the highest FAMEs conversions. Under these conditions, 90% and 75% conversions were achieved within 10 and 1 min from PPO (at 25:1 MeOH:PPO molar ratio) and PFA (at 6:1 MeOH:PFA molar ratio), respectively. 相似文献

Jatropha curcas L. has recently been hailed as the promising feedstock for biodiesel production as it does not compete with food sources. Conventional production of biodiesel from J. curcas L. seeds involve two main processing steps; extraction of oil and subsequent esterification/transesterification to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). In this study, the feasibility of in situ extraction, esterification and transesterification of J. curcas L. seeds to biodiesel was investigated. It was found that the size of the seed and reaction period effect the yield of FAME and amount of oil extracted significantly. Using seed with size less than 0.355 mm and n-hexane as co-solvent with the following reaction conditions; reaction temperature of 60 °C, reaction period of 24 h, methanol to seed ratio of 7.5 ml/g and 15 wt% of H2SO4, the oil extraction efficiency and FAME yield can reached 91.2% and 99.8%, respectively. This single step of reactive extraction process therefore can be a potential route for biodiesel production that reduces processing steps and cost. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to use waste semi-coke as the raw material to prepare catalysts of industrial-scale size for SO2 removal from flue gas and to find the optimal preparation methods. Results showed that lignite semi-coke was a suitable raw material, and that the catalyst, prepared by pre-activating in an autoclave, oxidizing with HNO3, loading with CuSO4 and finally calcining at 700 °C, exhibited the best desulfurizing property with a sulfur retention of about 9.6% SO2/100 gC at a reaction temperature of 90 °C. Also, the effects of H2O content in the flue gas, reaction temperature and space velocity on the desulfurizing property were investigated to determine optimum operating conditions. An H2O content of 7% was appropriate for catalysts in this work. In the temperature range 80-120 °C, the catalyst showed good performance for SO2 removal and was gradually deactivated at temperatures above 120 °C. Space velocity exhibited an optimal value of 830 h−1. The kinetic behavior varied with space velocity and the desulfurizing property was controlled by diffusion at space velocities below 830 h−1, and controlled by adsorption or catalytic reaction at space velocities above 830 h−1. 相似文献

Kusum (Schleichera triguga), a non-edible oil bearing plant has been used as an ideal feedstock for biodiesel development in the present study. Various physical and chemical parameters of the raw oil and the fatty acid methyl esters derived have been tested to confirm its suitability as a biodiesel fuel. The fatty acid component of the oil was tested by gas chromatography. The acid value of the oil was determined by titration and was found to 21.30 mg KOH/g which required two step transesterification. Acid value was brought down by esterification using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as a catalyst. Thereafter, alkaline transesterification was carried out using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as catalyst for conversion of kusum oil to its methyl esters. Various parameters such as molar ratio, amount of catalyst and reaction time were optimized and a high yield (95%) of biodiesel was achieved. The high conversion of the feedstock into esters was confirmed by analysis of the product on gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Viscosity and acid value of the product biodiesel were determined and found to be within the limits of ASTM D 6751 specifications. Elemental analysis of biodiesel showed presence of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and absence of nitrogen and sulfur after purification. Molar ratio of methanol to oil was optimized and found to be 10:1 for acid esterification, and 8:1 for alkaline transesterification. The amounts of H2SO4 and KOH, 1% (v/v) and 0.7% (w/w), respectively, were found to be optimum for the reactions. The time duration of 1 h for acid esterification followed by another 1 h for alkaline transesterification at 50 ± 0.5 °C was optimum for synthesis of biodiesel. 相似文献

Low quality rice bran was used to produce fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) via in situ extraction, esterification and transesterification process. The effects of the acid and alkaline catalysts on the ester yield, esterification and transesterification process were studied. When 75 ml of absolute methanol, 150 ml of petroleum ether, 0.75 g of concentrated sulfuric acid and 0.71 g of sodium hydroxyl were used, 16.69% (wFAME/wrice bran) of FAME was obtained. The esterification rate and the transesterification rate reached 98.83% and 80.47%. Based on the proposed route, the production process of FAME (biodiesel) could be simplified and the production cost could be reduced. 相似文献

The investigation of hydro-conversion behavior of the heavy intermediate products derived from coal direct liquefaction is advantageous to optimize the technological conditions of direct coal liquefaction and improve the oil yield. In this paper, the hydro-conversion of preasphaltenes catalyzed by SO42−/ZrO2 solid acid was investigated based on the structural characterization of preasphaltenes and its hydro-conversion products, and the determination of products distribution and the kinetics of preasphaltenes hydro-conversion. The results indicated that the content of condensed aromatic rings increased, and the contents of hydrogen, oxygen and aliphatic side chains of preasphaltenes decreased with the increase of coal liquefaction temperature. The preasphaltenes showed higher hydro-conversion reactivity while SO42−/ZrO2 solid acid was used as catalyst. Higher temperature and longer time were in favor of increasing the conversion and the oil + gas yield. The conversion of preasphaltenes hydro-conversion under 425 °C, for 40 min reached 81.3% with 51.2% oil + gas yield. SO42−/ZrO2 solid acid was in favor of the catalytic cracking rather than the catalytic hydrogenation in the hydro-conversion of preasphaltenes. The activation energy of preasphaltenes conversion into asphaltenes was 72 kJ/mol. The regressive reactions were only observed at a higher temperature. 相似文献

A study of the pyrolysis of a waste from the extraction of olive oil has been carried out. The work objective was to characterize the char, tar and gaseous phases generated in the process for their possible utilization in energy generation. On the other hand, the influence of a set of variables has been studied, including the efficacy of the dolomite as catalyst. Finally, as previous step to the design of industrial installations, a kinetic study of the process (catalyzed and uncatalyzed), based in the generation of the principal gases, has been carried out. In the uncatalyzed process only the influence of temperature (400–900 °C) was studied. In the catalytic process, the influence of temperature (500–800 °C) and mass of catalyst (0–100 g) was studied. Also, the dolomite effectiveness as catalyst was evaluated. For this motive, consecutive experiments, without reactivating dolomite, were carried out (0–6 runs), and the yields of solids, liquids and gases were determined. An increase in reaction temperature leads to a decrease in char and tar yield and to an increase in the gas phase yield. When the catalyst is present and when the mass of the same is increased, an important decrease in the tar yield and a high increase in the gas phase yield are produced. This increment in the yield of gases is very significant in the case of hydrogen. In addition, the catalyst is very stable. Your activity remains constant during six consecutive pyrolysis experiments, without need to carry out the reactivation of the same. In the kinetic study carried out, it has been considered that the gases are formed through parallel independent first-order reactions, with different activation energy. For uncatalyzed experiments, the experimental data, once adjusted to the model, provided activation energies of 77.8, 38.6, 70.5 and 16.9 kJ mol− 1 and the Arrhenius pre-exponential factors of 210.1, 9.9, 775.3 and 0.43 min− 1 for H2, CO, CH4, and CO2, respectively. For catalyzed experiments (following the same sequence) the activation energies were 15.6, 16.5, 12.7 and 23.3 kJ mol− 1 and the Arrhenius pre-exponential factors 3.8, 1.4, 4.3 and 3.5 min− 1. 相似文献

Tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) was used as carrier for the transport of chromium (VI) through a hexane bulk liquid membrane. The transport efficiency of chromium (VI) by TBP was investigated under various experimental conditions such as pH of the feed phase (Cr (VI) solution), concentration of the receiving phase (NaOH solution), concentration of TBP in membrane, rate of stirring, effect of transport time, type of solvent, Cr (VI) concentration in feed phase, and effect of temperature. The transport efficiency increased with increasing carrier concentration from 7.5 × 10− 2 to 2.25 × 10− 1 mol/L. At high pH (donor phase) the transport rate of chromate ions decreased. At high stirring speed (300 rpm) the Cr (VI) transport from the feed phase to the strip phase was completed within 5 h at 27 °C. Under optimum conditions: donor phase 4.8 × 10− 4 mol/L K2Cr2O7 solution at pH 1.0 ± 0.1, acceptor phase 1.0 mol/L NaOH solution, membrane phase 2.25 × 10− 1 mol/L, stirring speed 300 rpm, and temperature 27 °C, the flux rate was found to be 2.90 × 10− 7 mol/m2 s. 相似文献

This study demonstrated the potential use of local palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) as alternative feedstock for fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) production and the possibility to replace the conventional acid-catalyzed esterification process (with H2SO4), which was industrially proven to suffer by several corrosion and environmental problems, with non-catalytic process in supercritical methanol. At 300 °C with the PFAD to methanol molar ratio of 1:6 and the reaction time of 30 min, the esterification of PFAD in supercritical methanol gave FAMEs production yield of 95%. Compared with transesterification of purified palm oil (PPO) in supercritical methanol, the production of FAMEs reached the maximum yield of only 80% at 300 °C with higher requirement for methanol (1:45 PPO to methanol molar ratio). Compared with the conventional acid-catalyzed esterification of PFAD, only 75% FAMEs yield was obtained in 5 h. The presence of water in the feed (between 0 and 30% v/v) was found to lower the yield of FAMEs production from PFAD significantly. This negative effect was proven to be due to the further hydrolysis of FAMEs, which nevertheless can be minimized when high content of methanol was used. 相似文献

The direct synthesis of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) from an l-lactic acid oligomer has been performed in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) using an esterification promoting agent, dicyclohexyldimethylcarbodiimide (DCC), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as a catalyst. PLLA within Mn of 13,500 g/mol was synthesised in 90% yield at 3500 psi and 80 °C after 24 h. The molecular weight distribution of the products was narrower than PLLA prepared with melt-solid phase polymerisation under conventional conditions. Both DCC and DMAP showed high solubility in scCO2 (DCC: 7.6 wt% (1.63×10−2 mol/mol CO2) at 80 °C, 3385 psi, DMAP: 4.5 wt% (1.62×10−2mol/mol CO2) at 80 °C, 3386 psi) and supercritical fluid extraction was found to be effective at removing excess DMAP and DCC after the polymerisation was complete. We show that DCC and DMAP are effective esterification promoting reagents with further applications for condensation polymerisations in scCO2. 相似文献

Supercritical carbon dioxide was used for partially selective extraction of triacetin from a mixture of triacetin, diacetin, and monoacetin with a molar ratio of 1:2:1. The extraction was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, a central composite design was used to optimize the four variables of pressure, temperature, liquid CO2 flow rate, and extraction time at three levels using a semi-continuous, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction setup. The composition of the extract under the predicted optimum conditions (i.e., 109 bar, 56 °C, 0.86 mL min−1, and 61 min) was about 69% triacetin accompanied by only 30% diacetin and no detectable monoacetin. In the second stage, the effect of the two factors, pressure (100, 109, and 140 bar) and liquid CO2 flow rates of 0.86 and 1.5 mL min−1 measured at average laboratory temperature (27 °C) and pressure (0.89 bar), were studied using a continuous, supercritical carbon dioxide fractionation setup equipped with a glass-bead packed column kept under a thermal gradient of 56-70 °C. The experimental design was organized as a 3 × 2 general factorial design. Under the best conditions (i.e., 140 bar and 1.5 mL min−1), the extraction yield of triacetin and diacetin were 41.8 and 3.0%, respectively, without any detectable monoacetin as verified by GC-FID. 相似文献

Biodiesel produced by vegetable oil transesterification is a potential alternative fuel to diesel regarding the limited resources of fossil fuel and its environmental concerns. In this paper, N-methylimidazole functionalized anion exchange resin (R+-OH−) containing NaOH was synthesized through two-step method and applied for transesterification of soybean oil. R+-OH− was found to show some polarity due to the functional groups of N-methylimidazole and hydroxyl, and NaOH could be absorbed in R+-OH− to form R+OH− (Na). Both soybean oil and methanol will be compatible to the partly-polar R+OH− (Na), and the reaction will be enhanced by the co-catalysis of R+-OH− with NaOH. The properties of R+-OH− (Na) were studied, such as ion exchange capacity, stability and microstructure. The influences of the molar ratio of methanol to soybean oil, stirring speed and the amount of R+-OH− (Na) were investigated. The conversion of soybean oil was up to 97.25% at the optimal condition: molar ratio of methanol to soybean oil 12:1, the amount of catalyst 2.5%, reaction temperature 50 °C, stirring speed 570 rpm and reaction time 10 h. The co-catalysis of R+-OH− with NaOH improved the yield of biodiesel greatly, and R+-OH− (Na) could be reused after regeneration. 相似文献

The transesterification of castor oil under supercritical ethanol using a catalyst-free continuous process was investigated. The effect of water concentration on the reaction medium, reaction temperature, pressure, and substrates flow rate were studied. A maximum ester content of 74.2% was achieved when the reactor was operated at 573 K, 20 MPa, substrates flow rate of 0.8 ml min−1, and 5 wt% water concentration in the alcohol. The ester content of the product increased with the operation temperature, but after certain temperature level the converse effect was observed. This adverse effect was attributed to oil degradation, which increased to 88.7% at 648 K (at the flow rate of 0.8 ml min−1). A favorable effect on ester content was observed when the water concentration was increased, unlike the effect of water on the conventional alkali-catalyzed process. 相似文献

2,4,6-Tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) was used as a ligand to prepare iron-TPTZ (Fe-TPTZ) complexes for the development of a new oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst. The prepared Fe-TPTZ complexes were then heat-treated at temperatures ranging from 400 °C to 1100 °C to obtain carbon-supported Fe-N catalysts (Fe-N/C). These catalysts were characterized in terms of catalyst composition, structure, and morphology by several instrumental methods such as energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. With respect to the ORR activity, the Fe-N/C catalysts were also evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, as well as rotating disk and ring-disk electrodes. The results showed that among the heat-treated catalysts, that obtained at a heat-treatment temperature of 800 °C is the most active ORR catalyst. The overall electron transfer number for the catalyzed ORR was determined to be between 3.5 and 3.8, with 10-30% H2O2 production. The ORR catalytic activity of this catalyst was also tested in a hydrogen-air proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. At a cell voltage of 0.30 V, this fuel cell can give a current density of 0.23 A cm−2 with a maximum MEA power density of 0.070 W cm−2 indicating that this catalyst has potential to be used as a non-noble catalyst in PEM fuel cells. 相似文献

In this study, biodiesel was produced from Moringa oleifera oil using sulfated tin oxide enhanced with SiO2 (SO42−/SnO2-SiO2) as super acid solid catalyst. The experimental design was done using design of experiment (DoE), specifically, response surface methodology based on three-variable central composite design (CCD) with alpha (α) = 2. The reaction parameters studied were reaction temperature (60 °C to 180 °C), reaction period (1 h to 3 h) and methanol to oil ratio (1:6 to 1:24). It was observed that the yield up to 84 wt.% of Moringa oleifera methyl esters can be obtained with reaction conditions of 150 °C temperature, 150 min reaction time and 1:19.5 methanol to oil ratio, while catalyst concentration and agitation speed are kept at 3 wt.% and 350-360 rpm respectively. Therefore this study presents the possibility of converting a relatively new oil feedstock, Moringa oleifera oil to biodiesel and thus reducing the world's dependency on existing edible oil as biodiesel feedstock. 相似文献

Melts of linear brush polymers with PEO side chains attached at each repeat unit of the backbones have been doped with CF3SO3−Li+. Mechanical properties and ionic conductivity of such systems have been analyzed using mechanical and dielectric spectroscopies. Mechanical spectra indicated a presence of super soft states for samples with long backbones or for systems which have been slightly cross-linked (G′<104 Pa). In the case of the polymer with longer crystallizing PEO side chains (MWav=1100 g/mol), the ionic conductivity reaching the 10−3 S/cm level at the optimum CF3SO3−Li+ concentration (EO/Li+=10:1) have been detected at temperatures not far above the room temperature. The presence of lithium ions suppresses completely the crystallization of PEO side chains. 相似文献
