In contrast to alcohol, methyl acetate as an acyl acceptor does not inhibit lipase activity and can create triacetin as a useful byproduct. In this work, Immobilized lipase from Candida Antartica A (CaLA) was utilized as biocatalyst and the effect of using non-pretreated CPO and pre-treated CPO as feedstock were explored. The pre-treatment of CPO involves degumming with acid, washing with water, and bleaching. The enzymatic interesterification was conducted in three-neck flasks using an ultrasonic water bath at 45o C. Few parameter effects on biodiesel production were also investigated, including the effect of molar ratio of CPO to methyl acetate, the effect amount of lipase, and the reusability of immobilized lipase (CaLA) in the interesterification reaction. The highest average Biodiesel yield of 80.6% was obtained from pretreated CPO at a molar ratio of 1:9 with 100 mg (1% w/v) of Immobilized CaLA, after three hours of reaction. Further research on the reusability of immobilized CaLA revealed that the yield of biodiesel reduced significantly after the second run. The results of the present study also demonstrated that Immobilized CaLA performed well at low concentrations but had low stability, with productivity decreasing to 92% upon reuse after the initial run. In order to make Immobilized lipase economically viable, further research must be conducted to overcome its low stability in the reaction.","PeriodicalId":9366,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Chemical Reaction Engineering & Catalysis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90776207","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}

This study aimed to determine the effect of calcination temperature on the character of ZnO and ZnO/Mopl-CTAB and to determine the effect in degrading methyl orange. This research was carried out by synthesizing ZnO and ZnO/Mopl-CTAB materials by varying the calcination temperature in the final process, namely at temperatures of 150, 250, 350 and 450 °C. The solid material powder obtained was characterized using SEM EDX, BET, FTIR, XRD, and DR-UV. Based on the characterization results, the greater the calcination temperature can affect the characteristics of the photocatalyst material including morphology, functional groups, crystal structure, crystal lattice, crystallinity, surface area, pore size, pore volume and bandgap energy. The results of the photodegradation activity test in degrading MO proved that the best or optimum material for use in MO degradation in bright conditions was ZnO/Mopl-CTAB with a calcination temperature of 450 that resulted in the most optimum % removal at 50 minutes of 78% while ZnO was only 53 % in the 40th minute. In the dark conditions the best material was ZnO/Mopl-CTAB with a calcination temperature of 150 that was 52% in the 50th minute while the optimum condition for ZnO occurred at the 450 °C calcination temperature treatment that was 31% in the 50th minute 40. The kinetics of reactions that occur in both dark and light conditions followed the pseudo-second order reaction kinetics model.","PeriodicalId":9366,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Chemical Reaction Engineering & Catalysis","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84697662","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}
