NGHIÊN CỨU ĐIỀU CHẾ DIESEL SINH HỌC TỪ DẦU HẠT CÂY LAI (Aleurites moluccana (L.) Willd)

Abstract

Biodiesel could be produced from different kinds of fatty material, mostly from vegetable oils, animal fat oils, recycled cooking oils. The results of the study presented in this article showed that the seed oil of Aleurites moluccana has the potential as raw materials for biodiesel production. The
biodiesel technological manufacturing includes two stages: First stage: esterification of fatty acides with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid used as catalyst. Second stage: triglycerit converted into methyl ester of fatty acid (FAME), that is biodiesel. The analysis results show that the quality of biodiesel from Aleurites moluccana seed oil satisfied diesel standard (EN 590) and biodiesel standard (EN 14214 and ASTM D6751) in general. It could be used as fuel for diesel engine.
Analysis results of the gas released from the generator with using biodiesel from Aleurites moluccana seed oil shows that the content of toxic components decreasedas following: (i) CO2 content by 30%; (ii) CO content by 50% and (iii) Hydrocacbon content by 20%.
