Continuous production of biodiesel fuel from vegetable oil using supercritical methanol process 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Huayang He 《Fuel》2007,86(3):442-447
A system for continuous transesterification of vegetable oil using supercritical methanol was developed using a tube reactor. Increasing the proportion of methanol, reaction pressure and reaction temperature can enhance the production yield effectively. However, side reactions of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) occur when the reaction temperature is over 300 °C, which lead to much loss of material. There is also a critical value of residence time at high reaction temperature, and the production yield will decrease if the residence time surpasses this value. The optimal reaction condition under constant reaction temperature process is: 40:1 of the molar ratio of alcohol to oil, 25 min of residence time, 35 MPa and 310 °C. However, the maximum production yield can only be 77% in the optimal reaction condition of constant reaction temperature process because of the loss caused by the side reactions of unsaturated FAME at high reaction temperature. To solve this problem, we proposed a new technology: gradual heating that can effectively reduce the loss caused by the side reactions of unsaturated FAME at high reaction temperature. With the new reaction technology, the methyl esters yield can be more than 96%. 相似文献

Candida antarctica lipase is inactivated in a mixture of vegetable oil and more than 1∶2 molar equivalent of methanol against the total fatty
acids. We have revealed that the inactivation was eliminated by three successive additions of 1∶3 molar equivalent of methanol
and have developed a three-step methanolysis by which over 95% of the oil triacylglycerols (TAG) were converted to their corresponding
methyl esters (ME). In this study, the lipase was not inactivated even though 2∶3 molar equivalent of methanol was present
in a mixture of acylglycerols (AG) and 33% ME (AG/ME33). This finding led to a two-step methanolysis of the oil TAG: The first-step
was conducted at 30°C for 12 h with shaking in a mixture of the oil, 1∶3 molar equivalent of methanol, and 4% immobilized
lipase; the second-step reaction was done for 24 h after adding 2∶3 molar equivalent of methanol (36 h in total). The two-step
methanolysis achieved more than 95% of conversion. When two-step reaction was repeated by transferring the immobilized lipase
to a fresh substrate mixture, the enzyme could be used 70 cycles (105 d) without any decrease in the conversion. From the
viewpoint of the industrial production of biodiesel fuel production, the two-step reaction was conducted using a reactor with
impeller. However, the enzyme carrier was easily destroyed, and the lipase could be used only several times. Thus, we attempted
flow reaction using a column packed with immobilized Candida lipase. Because the lipase packed in the column was drastically inactivated by feeding a mixture of AG/ME33 and 2∶3 molar
equivalent of methanol, three-step flow reaction was performed using three columns packed with 3.0 g immobilized lipase. A
mixture of vegetable oil and 1∶3 molar equivalent of methanol was fed into the first column at a constant flow rate of 6.0
mL/h. The eluate and 1∶3 molar equivalent of methanol were mixed and then fed into the second column at the same flow rate.
The final step reaction was done by feeding a mixture of eluate from the second column and 1∶3 molar equivalent of methanol
at the same flow rate. The ME content in the final-step eluate reached 93%, and the lipase could be used for 100 d without
any decrease in the conversion. 相似文献

The soapstock of a mixture of marine fish was used as the raw material to produce the biodiesel in this study. The soapstock was collected from discarded fish products. Crude fish oil was squeezed from the soapstock of the fish and refined by a series of processes. The refined fish oil was transesterified to produce biodiesel. The fuel properties of the biodiesel were analyzed. The experimental results showed that oleic acid (C18:1) and palmitic acid (C16:0) were the two major components of the marine fish-oil biodiesel. The biodiesel from the mixed marine fish oil contained a significantly greater amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids than did the biodiesel from waste cooking oil. In addition, the marine fish-oil biodiesel contained as high as 37.07 wt.% saturated fatty acids and 37.3 wt.% long chain fatty acids in the range between C20 and C22. Moreover, the marine fish-oil biodiesel appeared to have a larger acid number, a greater increase in the rate of peroxidization with the increase in the time that it was stored, greater kinematic viscosity, higher heating value, higher cetane index, more carbon residue, and a lower peroxide value, flash point, and distillation temperature than those of waste cooking-oil biodiesel. 相似文献

Production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil using impregnated diatomite as heterogeneous catalyst 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this study, biodiesel was produced from waste vegetable oil using a heterogeneous base catalyst synthesized by impregnating potassium hydroxide (KOH) onto diatomite. Response surface methodology based on a central composite design was used to optimize four transesterification variables:temperature (30–120 °C), reaction time (2–6 h), methanol to oil mass ratio (10%–50%) and catalyst to oil mass ratio (2.1%–7.9%). A quadratic poly-nomial equation was obtained to correlate biodiesel yield to the transesterification variables. The diatomite–KOH catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDS). A maximum biodiesel yield of 90%(by mass) was obtained. The reaction conditions were as follows:methanol to oil mass ratio 30%, catalyst to oil mass ratio 5%, reaction time 4 h, and reaction temperature 75 °C. The XRD, FTIR and SEM (EDS) results confirm that the addition of KOH modifies the structure of diatomite. During impregnation and calcination of the diatomite catalyst the K2O phase forms in the diatomite structural matrix and the active basicity of this compound facilitates the transesterification process. It is possible to recycle the diatomite–KOH catalyst up to three times. The crucial biodiesel properties from waste vegetable oil are within the American Stan-dard Test Method specifications. 相似文献

In an effort to make use of high acid value oils for biodiesel production, various solid acid catalysts such as cesium-doped heteropoly tungstate (CsHPW), 20%TPW/ZrO2, 20%WO3/ZrO2, 20%TPW/γ-Al2O3, and 20%TPW/SiO2 were prepared and evaluated. Leaching of the active species from the catalyst during actual reaction conditions was also investigated to estimate the contribution of homogeneous catalysis. CsHPW was found to be highly active and most stable among other acid catalysts and a maximum conversion of 90% was obtained at the optimum reaction conditions. Further, the recycled use of the selected catalyst was also examined. 相似文献

Three continuous biodiesel processes with production capacity of 40,000 tonne/yr, including a conventional alkali-catalyzed process using both fresh and waste vegetable oil and a supercritical methanol process using waste vegetable oil as the raw material, were simulated in HYSYS. In order to improve the simulation accuracy, the properties of triolein, a model compound of vegetable oil, were re-evaluated. The normal boiling point of triolein was experimentally determined by thermogravimetric analysis and further incorporated in HYSYS simulation, which resulted in improvements in the values of specific heat capacity, mass density, and viscosity. Process economics were analyzed using Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator. The alkali-catalyzed process using fresh vegetable oil had the lowest total capital investment, but the supercritical process was the most economically feasible overall, providing a lower manufacturing cost and higher net present value and a discounted cash flow rate of return. Sensitivity analyses of net present value were conducted using four parameters including oil feedstock costs, glycerol credit, biodiesel selling prices, and interest rates. Based on the analyses, prediction equations of net present value were developed. 相似文献

Biodiesel has been produced by transesterification of waste frying oil with methanol catalysed by sodium methoxide. The unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters of the biodiesel produced have been nitrated by two alternative nitration methods, showing an incorporation of nitrogen between 3.43 and 5.10 wt.%, in the chemical form of nitro, nitrate and acetoxy functional groups. A detailed gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis has been carried out on the nitrated biodiesel samples in order to identify the nitration products of this complex mixture. The nitrated biodiesel has been added to a base diesel fuel in a 1000 mg L−1 concentration resulting in an increase of the cetane number of the fuel by more than five points, from 54.7 to 60.5. 相似文献

At present, the homogeneous base-catalyzed methanolysis reaction of vegetable oils is a most often used process for the industrial biodiesel production. The toxicity of methanol, the risk of the methanol vapor explosion and the possibility of the ethanol production from biorenewable resources have contributed to the development of a vegetable oil ethanolysis process for the biodiesel production. In the reaction of vegetable oils and ethanol in the presence of a catalyst, completely agricultural fuels consisted of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) are obtained having physico-chemical properties similar to those of the appropriate methyl esters and diesel fuel. The ethanolysis reaction of various oily feedstocks has been widely studied to optimize the reaction conditions and to develop new catalytic systems and processes based on chemical and biological catalysts, as well as the development of non-catalytic processes. Most researches investigate the application of homogeneous base catalysts. This paper studies the review of vegetable oil ethanolysis investigations for the biodiesel production done so far. The goals of the paper are to present the development of FAEE synthesis by catalytic and non-catalytic processes, their advantages and disadvantages, the influence of some operating and reaction conditions on the process rate and ethyl esters yield, the kinetics models describing the ethanolysis process rate, the process optimization and the possibilities for improving the FAEE synthesis process. 相似文献

Intensification of biodiesel production process using low frequency ultrasonic irradiation (20 kHz, 200 W) is elucidated in this study. Effects of five process variables in an ultrasonic-assisted reactor catalyzed by SrO through transesterification of vegetable oils are investigated. RSM was employed and the optimum conditions were at an ultrasonic pulse on of 9 s followed by 2 s of pulse off within a reaction time of 30.7 min. The optimum ultrasonic power was found to be 130 W using an oil amount of 52 g (R2 = 0.97). The model was applicable to different types of oil with errors less than 10%. FFA content was responsible for the different yields obtained with different oils. Three steps of the transesterification process were measured to obtain the kinetic study. The results revealed that the reaction followed a second-order kinetic. The activation energies varied between 70.63 kJ/mol and 136.93 kJ/mol showing relatively high coefficient of determinations. 相似文献

In this study several oil press cakes were investigated as exclusive substrates for different moulds and yeasts for the production of flavor‐active decalactones via solid‐state fermentation (SSF). Experiments are focused on pre‐treatment methods for olive cake to remove antimicrobial phenolic substances contained in the oil cake disturbing or even inhibiting microbial growth. Choosing Ceratocystis moniliformis as the reference microorganism best results were obtained by a combination of hot water flushes and enzymatic treatment of the cake. Fermentation with sunflower, olive and linseed cake did not lead to lactone formation in detectable amounts although all of these substrates provided good microbial growth. On castor cake, however, five microorganisms have synthesized the requested decalactones via SSF. Thus fermentation of the fungus Moniliella suaveolens on this substrate resulted in a maximum concentration of γ‐decalactone of 180.7 mg·kg?1 dry matter without optimization. Another δ‐lactone, 6‐pentyl‐α‐pyrone, was produced in small amounts by the fungus Trichoderma harzianum on castor cake. 相似文献

In this study, the characteristics and performance of three commonly used catalysts used for alkaline-catalyzed transesterification i.e. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and sodium methoxide, were evaluated using edible Canola oil and used frying oil. The fuel properties of biodiesel produced from these catalysts, such as ester content, kinematic viscosity and acid value, were measured and compared. With intermediate catalytic activity and a much lower cost sodium hydroxide was found to be more superior than the other two catalysts. The process variables that influence the transesterification of triglycerides, such as catalyst concentration, molar ratio of methanol to raw oil, reaction time, reaction temperature, and free fatty acids content of raw oil in the reaction system, were investigated and optimized. This paper also studied the influence of the physical and chemical properties of the feedstock oils on the alkaline-catalyzed transesterification process and determined the optimal transesterification reaction conditions that produce the maximum ester content and yield. 相似文献

Ultrasonic-assisted biodiesel production process from palm oil using alkaline earth metal oxides as the heterogeneous catalysts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The ultrasonic-assisted transesterification of palm oil in the presence of alkaline earth metal oxide catalysts (CaO, SrO and BaO) was investigated. Batch process assisted by 20 kHz ultrasonic cavitation was carried out to study the effect of reaction time (10-60 min), alcohol to palm oil molar ratio (3:1-15:1), catalysts loading (0.5-3%) and varying of ultrasonic amplitudes (25-100%). The activities of the catalysts were mainly related to their basic strength. The catalytic activity was in the sequence of CaO < SrO < BaO. At optimum conditions, 60 min was required to achieve 95% yield compared to 2-4 h with conventional stirring. Also, the yields achieved in 60 min increased from 5.5% to 77.3% (CaO), 48.2% to 95.2% (SrO), and 67.3% to 95.2 (BaO). Fifty percentage amplitude of ultrasonic irradiation was deemed the most suitable value and physical changes on the catalysts after the ultrasonic-assisted reaction were successfully elucidated. BaO catalyst underwent relatively more severe activity drop in the catalyst reusability test. Catalysts dissolution was found to be mainly responsible for activity drop of the reused catalysts, especially with BaO catalyst. 相似文献

Application of KF/MgO as a heterogeneous catalyst in the production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Biodiesel was synthesized from rapeseed oil by transesterification over Magnesium oxide loaded with KF. The catalytic activity
strongly depends on the loading amount of KF and calcined temperature. We found that the reaction reached a 79.37% yield when
the loading amount was at 35 wt% and calcined at 500 °C. The simply dried 30% KF/MgO at 80 °C was found to give equally good
results from the catalyst calcined at 500 °C, avoiding the usual activation at high temperature. The catalysts were characterized
by the Hammett indicator method, BET, TG/DTG, XRD, NMR, EDS, and FT-IR. According to the instrumental analysis, the activity
in the transesterification probably belonged to coordinately unsaturated F− and liberation of hydroxide during preparation. The effects of methanol/oil ratio and catalyst amounts on the conversion
were also studied in this paper. 相似文献

Biodiesel produced from lipid sources is a clean-burning, biodegradable, nontoxic fuel that is free of aromatic hydrocarbons. Current biodiesel production processes are tedious and involve two to three reaction steps each followed by separation and purification. Process integration of reaction and separation in a single step within a membrane reactor (MR) offers several advantages over conventional reactors.This investigation is aimed at studying the effect of membrane flux and residence time on the performance of a membrane reactor in treating a variety of raw and used feedstocks. A membrane reactor having three selectable reactor volumes was designed to decouple the effect of residence time in the reactor from membrane flux on the performance of the reactor. Low free fatty acid (FFA) oils (FFA < 1%), i.e. canola, corn, sunflower and un-refined soy oils, and high FFA waste cooking oil (FFA = 5%) were base transesterified and the quality of the biodiesel produced was determined in terms of free glycerine, mono-glyceride, di-glyceride and tri-glyceride content. All oils were base transesterified without pretreatment.Based on the composition of the final product, the MR could be operated at the upper limit of the flux tested (70 L/m2/h) and a residence time of 60 min. The ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standards for glycerin and glycerides were reached in the washed biodiesel product for all feedstocks and run conditions. The operating pressure in the reactor was exceeded at 70 L/m2/h in treating waste oils and pre-treated corn oil. For these oils, reasonable operating pressures in the reactor were reached at a membrane flux of 30–40 L/m2/h. The quality of the washed biodiesel always met ASTM and EN standards. The FAME produced from WCO at intermediate fluxes and high residence times met the ASTM and EN standards without water washing. 相似文献

In this study, the Transesterification Double Step Process (TDSP) for the production of biodiesel from vegetable oil was modified to yield a shorter reaction time and products with improved quality. TDSP consists in a two step transesterification procedure which starts with a basic catalysis, followed by an acidic catalysis. The process modifications included a reduction in the concentration of catalysts, a reduction in the reaction time of the first step and the direct mixing of methanol/acid solution, without cooling the system between the first and second step. A comparison between washed and unwashed biodiesel demonstrates that the final washing and drying procedure is necessary for satisfactory results. The products were analyzed by 1H-NMR and nineteen different biodiesel analyses specific for international quality certification. The modified procedure resulted in a high conversion index (97% for waste cooking oil and soybean oil and 98% for linseed oil) and high yield (87 ± 5% for waste cooking oil, 92 ± 3% for soybean and 93 ± 3% for linseed oil). The biodiesel produced by the modified TDSP met ASTM, EN ISO and ABNT standards before the addition of stabilizer. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to study the two‐step acid base homogenous catalyzed transesterification of olive pomace oil, with the ultimate purpose of producing biodiesel under mild reaction conditions by optimizing the process. Optimization of the experimental procedure was conducted by a factorial design of 23 under the acidic pretreatment step and during the basic transesterification. The optimal production of methyl esters (97.8%) was achieved for the experimental conditions H2SO4 = 20 wt%/CH3OH = 35:1/T = 40°C and KOH = 0.6+ fatty acid value /CH3OH = 9:1/ T = 60°C, in the acidic and basic stage of the process, respectively. Finally, to properly assess the quality of the biofuel produced, it was tested for all the European Standard properties. 相似文献
