Biodiesel Purification via Ultrasonic-Assisted Solvent-Aided Crystallization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wet washing is a widely used method for biodiesel purification. However, this technique generates large amount of wastewater that needs to be treated afterward, which costly and time-consuming. Thus, solvent-aided crystallization (SAC) with ultrasonic irradiation as solution movement assistance was introduced. This based on the addition 1-butanol enhance purification via crystallization. During crystallization, two phases are formed, where glycerol solidifies (solid phase) pure remains (liquid phase). Technically, implementation technology can optimize laboratory work by saving time, no cleaning or propeller needed. Biodiesel purity analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), 99% achieved. The optimum parameters in achieving higher fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) were concentration 1 wt.%, coolant temperature 9 °C, time 40 min.

Application of ultrasonic energy at 20 kHz transesterification of vegetable oil is reported. Effects of 5 important variables i.e. pulse on (s), pulse off (s), reaction time (min), power (%) and oil volume (ml) at a constant alcohol to palm oil molar ratio (9:1) and initial reaction temperature of 35°C were studied. A central composite design (CCD) based on response surface technology (RSM) was...
متن کاملMOF functionalization via solvent-assisted ligand incorporation: phosphonates vs carboxylates.
Solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI) is useful for functionalizing the channels of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials such as NU-1000 that offer substitutionally labile zirconium(IV) coordination sites for nonbridging ligands. Each of the 30 or so previous examples relied upon coordination of a carboxylate ligand to achieve incorporation. Here we show that, with appropriate attenti...

The ultrasound-assisted (UA) soybean oil methanolysis using KOH as a catalyst was studied at different reaction conditions in a microreactor. Box–Behnken experimental design, with three variables, was performed and the effects of three reaction variables i.e. reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and the methanol-to-oil molar ratio on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield were evaluated b...
متن کاملPurification and crystallization of avidin.
An improved purification, including crystallization, of avidin from hen's-egg white is described. The product bound 15.1mug of biotin/mg, corresponding to an equivalent weight of 16200. The amino acid composition showed an integral number of amino acid residues per 16200g, which suggested that each molecule of avidin (mol. wt. approx. 66000) contained four identical subunits.
