Biodiesel is a fuel consisting of a mixture of mono-alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or animal fats. Such as vegetable oils or animal fats. One of the vegetable oil products that can be used as feedstock for biodiesel production is used cooking oil. Used cooking oil is used oil. The purpose of this research is to study the characteristics of the effect of catalyst mass, the ratio of used cooking oil mole to methanol mole, and the effect of adding THF 1:1 co-solvent on the purity of biodiesel using heterogeneous catalyst ash derived from Nipah fruit skin calcined at 500°C for 4 hours. The process variables were transesterification reaction time 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes, a mole ratio of methanol to oil 1:19, 1:21, and 1:23 with the addition of THF: methanol v/v 1:1 co-solvent. Biodiesel properties such as density, viscosity, moisture content, and acid number were evaluated and compared with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The characteristics of biodiesel were obtained with a density of 860.2 Kg/m3 and a viscosity of 2.37 mm2/s. They contained 44.14% Palmitic acid and 43.04% Octadecenoic acid (oleic), following the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The maximum yield obtained was 93.3598% using a mole ratio of oil: methanol 1:23 at 60°C for 120 minutes, TFT 1:1, and 3% catalyst mass. The results obtained in this study indicate that heterogeneous catalysts made from kapok skin can be used to produce biodiesel. Adding TFT co-solvent can increase biodiesel production and methyl ester yield so that high purity is obtained.","PeriodicalId":31600,"journal":{"name":"IJFAC Indonesian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Chemistry","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83192820","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}

In this paper, CaSO4.2H2O is an active site embedded in natural zeolite, and the activity of the CaO-Zeolite catalyst is synthesized by a sonochemical impregnation-assisted drying process and calcination. The stirrer impregnation method was used as a control. CaO-Zeolite catalyst characterization and properties were identified via Scanning Electron Microscopy- Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX).The activation experiments were performed at an oven temperature of 120oC for 5 h and a calcination temperature of 300oC for 2 h. The synthesized catalysts of sonochemical were performed at 20 minutes, 20 kHz, and 1200 Watt, and the synthesized catalyst of stirrer were performed at 120 minutes, 1500 rpm, and 1000 watts. The experimental results revealed that the characterization of the catalysts prepared by the sonochemical method was better than that of the stirrer. Specifically, obtained CaO-Zeolite catalyst with Ca wt % increased from 0.86 wt% NZ (natural zeolite) to (11.3 wt%, 14.15 wt% and 23.48 wt%) of sonochemical and (11.82wt%, 13.95 wt% and 20.64wt%) of stirrer. The results demonstrated that Ca wt% by sonochemical in 20 minutes dispersed at support surface (zeolite) more effective than stirrer in 120 minutes. These results were impacted by acoustic cavitation and shockwave of ultrasonic on solid-liquid transport and distribution. On the other side, sonochemical assisted the activation technique to minimize particle size and allowed metal oxide (CaSO4.2H2O) to be dispersed uniformly into the pores structure of the zeolite.

Silica nickel phosphate catalysts have lewis acid sites from Ni metal and bronsted acid sites from phosphoric and silica groups. The acidity of the catalyst was measured using the pyridine and ammonia adsorption method and the acidity center strength method using the TGA-DTA base adsorption-desorption. The adsorption of ammonia and pyridine uses the gravimetric method so that it can easily obtain the amount of total acidity of the catalyst and the acidity of the catalyst surface while the TGA-DTA method shows the acid strength of the actual catalyst, which is the real state of the catalyst when catalyzing a reaction and shows the catalyst's resistance to high temperatures.
