“…The FAME contain was quantified according to EN 14103 method [4]. The biodiesel and FAME yields were determined using Equations (1) and (2). The biodiesel was also tested for its standard quality, such as: kinematic viscosity and acid value, by ASTM D 445 and AOCS Cd 3d-63 methods, respectively.…”

“…Biodiesel, consisting of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), offers a solution to fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation issues due to its ability to be renewed and biodegraded easily [1,2]. Application of biodiesel in diesel engine exhibited better degradation characteristic and lower emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), total hydrocarbons (THCs), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compound (VOC) [3].…”

This paper was purposed for testing reusability and stability of calcium oxide-based catalyst (K2O/CaO-ZnO) over transesterification reaction of soybean oil with methanol to produce biodiesel. The K2O/CaO-ZnO catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method of calcium and zinc nitrates followed by impregnation of potassium nitrate. The fresh and used catalysts were tested after regeneration. The catalysts were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and BET Surface Area in order to compare the catalyst structure between the fresh and used catalysts. The catalyst testing in transesterification proses was carried out at following operating conditions, i.e. catalyst weight of 6 wt.%, oil to methanol mole ratio of 1:15, and temperature of 60 oC. In addition, metal oxide leaching of K2O/CaO-ZnO catalyst during reaction was also tested. From the results, the catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity (80% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield after three-cycles of usage) and acceptable reusability after regeneration. The catalyst also showed acceptable stability of catalytic activity, even after three-cycles of usage.

“…The environmental benefits of biodiesel have made it increasingly attractive recently [2]. Biodiesel is defined as non-petroleum-based diesel fuel which is derived from fats and oils from biomass and used as fuel to generate power in ordinary diesel engines [3]. Animal fats and vegetable oils belong to the lipids, being essential products of the metabolism of living things, functioning as energy storage.…”

Heterogeneous transesterification of vegetable oils offers an environmentally more attractive option for biodiesel production compared with the conventional homogeneous processes. Thus, double metallic methoxide catalyst was developed in the present study, aiming to improve the transesterification of low-cost palm stearin (PS) and reduce waste generation. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalyst were studied by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, temperature-programmed desorption-CO 2 coupled with mass spectrometry, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analyses. The optimum parameters were obtained via the response surface methodology coupled with a central composite design. Transesterification with the highest biodiesel yield of 98 % was obtained using 3 % catalyst loading, methanolto-PS ratio of 11:1, 125 min reaction time, and 70°C temperature. This catalyst appears to be a promising candidate to replace homogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production, as it required short reaction duration and offered high reusability.
