Waste cooking oil has the potential as a biodiesel feedstock due to its environmentally friendly, inexpensive, reduces household waste and does not compete with food needs. Generally, the catalyst used in biodiesel is a homogeneous catalyst but has disadvantages. One effort that can be done is to use CaO catalyst from eggshell waste. Eggshells contain 95,28% CaCO3 which can be calcined to produce CaO. In this research, production of biodiesel is done by using waste cooking oil and CaO catalyst from eggshells with various variables to determine the best calcination conditions in the preparation of the catalyst. The eggshells were calcined at variable temperatures (600,700,800 and 900°C) during the time variables (2,3,4 and 5 hours). The operating conditions in the transesterification reaction were at 60°C for 2hours with a stirring speed of 700rpm and a mole ratio of oil and methanol of 1:12. The results obtained, the best calcination conditions in producing CaO catalysts were at a temperature of 900°C for 2 hours with 75.90% mass recovery.

The process of making biodiesel which has so far been carried out is a process of transesterification with alcohol where the byproduct produced is glycerol. Glycerol must be completely separated from biodiesel since it will interfere with engine performance. The method used to produce biodiesel in this study was interesterification. In the interesterification reaction, vegetable oil is reacted with methyl acetate instead of methyl alcohol, which results in triacetin byproduct. Separation of the remaining triacetin from biodiesel is not necessary since it is useful as an additive to biodiesel. To increase the solubility of the reactants, a co-solvent methyl ester is a good choice since it is a reaction product itself. Hence, it does not need a separation process. The operating conditions of the study were reaction temperature 60⁰C, molar ratio of palm oil:methyl acetate = 1:6, reaction time 1 hour, co-solvent mass of 15% oil mass, KOH catalyst mass (0; 0.25; 0.5; 0.75 1% mass of oil) and stirring speed (600,800,1000 rpm). The results demonstrated that the optimum concentration of biodiesel was 4.80%, obtained at a catalyst mass of 0.5% at a stirring speed of 600 rpm. The optimum yield of 5.56% was obtained at a catalyst mass of 0.5% and a stirring speed of 600 rpm. It can be concluded that the optimum condition of the research were: the catalyst mass 0.5%, stirring speed 600 rpm, reaction temperature 60⁰C, reaction time 1 hour, and molar ratio of oil:methyl acetate were 1:6, respectively.","PeriodicalId":163681,"journal":{"name":"Rekayasa Bahan Alam dan Energi Berkelanjutan","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127704868","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}

Indonesia has achieved 91.16% electrification rate in 2016, and in 2024 planned to achieve 100% electrification for its population. Lack of electricity access, however, is common throughout Indonesia. Provinces in eastern Indonesia such as Nusa Tenggara Timur and Papua Barat has the lowest electrification ratio, while provinces such as Nusa Tenggara Barat, Sulawesi Tenggara, Kalimantan Tengah, Kalimantan Utara, and Kepulauan Riau has less than 80% electrification rate. Out of the 34 provinces, only Bangka Belitung, Jawa Barat, and Jakarta have the electrification ratio above 99% in 2016. Providing electricity access to the population is proven to be difficult due to Indonesia’s archipelagic geography which acted as a barrier and poses a challenge in electrification efforts. Studies, however, have shown the potential use and application of renewable energy to provide electricity to islands and archipelagos. It is therefore important for Indonesia to take note that renewable energy initiatives, particularly on islands and archipelagos, are not only yielding positive results socially, economically, and environmentally, but it is also viable and feasible to implement.","PeriodicalId":163681,"journal":{"name":"Rekayasa Bahan Alam dan Energi Berkelanjutan","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126039898","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 results showed that temperature is a dominant factor determining the yield of 6-APA, compared to vacuum pressure from -300 mmHg to -50 mmHg that provided similar yield value. This fact was supported by interpretation of the crystal’s purity for the pressure variation that overall was more than 90% (suggested the homogeneity and higher 6-APA content); hence, operation in each pressure for that range is feasible.
