摘要
Biodiesel has been developed using a heterogeneous catalyst potassium fluoride (KF) supported on hydrotalcite (HT) and waste frying oil (WFO) as feedstock. Hydrotalcite was synthesized by co-precipitation method using mixture of Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and Al(NO3)2·9H2O slowly added to a solution containing NaOH and Na2CO3 and calcined at 500 °C. KF was impregnated on hydrotalcite at KF/HT load ratio of 80:100 by addition of a small amount of water. Biodiesel was developed using KF/HT as heterogeneous catalyst by transesterification. Box-Behnken Design using Minitab 15. 1 Statistical Software and Design-Expert (Demo version 8. 0. 6. 1) software were used as statistical tool for design of experiments and optimization of fatty acid methyl ester yield. A high yield and conversion of biodiesel was obtained by optimization of variables affecting the reaction. The variables affected the reaction in the priority order of: catalyst amount ≫ molar ratio (methanol to oil) > reaction time. A 12:1 methanol to WFO molar ratio, 2. 5 wt.% of catalyst at 60 °C in 1 h reaction time gave a high fatty acid methyl ester yield of >98 %. The quantitative analysis of the product (i. e., biodiesel) was done on a Fourier-transform-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
