Also, some variables concerning the catalyst preparation were considered, such as the activation temperature or the amount of impregnated active phase. The experimental facility used had a 500-mL flat bottom flask with three necks. The condenser (to avoid methanol loss) was connected to the central neck, whereas the remainders were used to connect a temperature probe and the sample collection system. In order to follow the kinetics of the transesterification process, some fatty acid methyl esters such as palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic and erucic acid were analyzed at different reaction times by gas chromatography (UNE EN 14103). Finally, in order to compare the results with conventional diesel, the characterization of the biodiesel obtained was carried out, according to UNE standards, analyzing density, viscosity, cold filter plugging point, flash and combustion points, distillation characteristics, cetane number, and acidity, iodine and saponification values.","PeriodicalId":13949,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chemical Engineering and Applications","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84257840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rice husk ash obtained was studied and has been named as C3. The characteristics of C3 samples can be acquired by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The SEM images showed the material was in agglomeration. The silica content of C3 was observed to be 89.85% using EDS. The thermal properties of the C3 also was performed using TGA as the change with temperature up to 1000°C with heating rate of 5°C/min.

The aromatics have high octane rating and therefore by removing them from a gasoline fuel substantially decreases the quality of the gasoline. One way to improve the octane rating of heavy normal alkanes present in heavy naphtha, without converting them into aromatics, is to isomerize them over an acidic catalyst. Zeolites are acidic catalysts that are highly efficient for the isomerization reactions. In the present study, n-heptane is taken as a model component of heavy naphtha and kinetics of the deactivation of different Y zeolite catalysts during the hydroisomerization reaction is studied. Various deactivation rate laws are tested against the experimental data and the best-fit rate law is worked out. Relatively low activation energies for the deactivation process are obtained showing temperature has little effect on the rate of deactivation for the conditions studied in the present","PeriodicalId":13949,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chemical Engineering and Applications","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80800801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
