Possibility of direct electricity production from waste canola oil

Abstract

Abstract. Powering high-efficiency devices, such as fuel cells, with waste products will allow for a broader development of renewable energy sources and utilisation of by-products. This publication presents the possibility of electrooxidation of the emulsion of waste rapeseed oil, prepared on the basis of the detergent Syntanol DS-10. The process of electrooxidation was carried out on platinum electrode in alkaline (KOH) and acidic (H 2 SO 4 ) electrolyte, in the temperature range of 293-333 K. In each analysed case the process of electrooxidation took place. The maximum current density obtained was 7 mA⋅cm -2 .Thus, it has been shown that it is possible to generate electricity directly from the emulsion of the waste rapeseed oil.

Direct Electricity Production From Coconut Oil - The Electrooxidation Of Coconut Oil In An Acid Electrolyte

“…These values are very close to the values obtained with, e.g. canola oil or waste canola oil [10,27]. To ascertain that the emulsion (and not only the detergent) was electrooxidated, measurements of the electrooxidation process run in the scope of kinetics, but the potential on the electrode is low and establishes in a long period of time.…”

“…Electrochemical measurements were performed in a glass reactor (glass cell) with a potentiostat (AMEL System 5000 apparatus) [10]. Figure 1 shows a diagram of the measurement position.…”

“…However, problems with the storage of hydrogen are the reason for the search for new fuels for FCs, eg. crude oil, petroleum derivatives [5][6][7] or biofuels [8][9][10][11].…”

“…To verify the viability of any biogas project the preliminary feasibility study is needed. Scientists studied logistic planning for feedstock supply (During et al 2017), a cost-benefi t analysis (Mohammed et al 2017), the potential energy production from animal waste and agricultural residues (Dell'Antonia et al 2014, Włodarczyk et al 2017), biogas upgrading systems (Mel et al 2016), different biogas projects (JICA 2015, Dekelver et al 2005, Dereli et al 2012, the feasibility of a centralized biogas plant for an animal farm (Trivett andHall 2009, Dereli et al 2012), etc. Despites numerous publications, some problems are not revealed enough, including the following chain: maturity of technology → quantity and quality assessment of feedstock → utilization pathways.…”
