Abstract

The present work proposes the process for obtaining biodiesel from the transesterification of commercial sunflower oil. Characterization of the oil was carried out considering the acidity index, the peroxide index, the humidity, and the density, using the test method established by the Ecuadorian Technical Standard. To obtain biodiesel, the oil was transesterified, a process in which a triglyceride reacted with an alcohol to form esters and glycerol. The biodiesel obtained was characterized according to ASTM and EN standards. Parameters such as density, kinematic viscosity, humidity, and acid number were analyzed at 30 min, 45 min, and 60 min. It is concluded that sunflower oil is a good alternative for obtaining biodiesel, being within the established international standards.

利用葵花籽油的酯交换作用获得生物柴油并确定其特性

本研究提出了从商用葵花籽油的酯交换反应中获得生物柴油的工艺。采用厄瓜多尔技术标准规定的测试方法，对油的酸度指数、过氧化物指数、湿度和密度进行了表征。为了获得生物柴油，对油脂进行了酯交换反应，即甘油三酯与酒精反应生成酯和甘油的过程。根据 ASTM 和 EN 标准，对获得的生物柴油进行了表征。在 30 分钟、45 分钟和 60 分钟时对密度、运动粘度、湿度和酸数等参数进行了分析。结论是，葵花籽油是获得生物柴油的良好替代品，符合既定的国际标准。
