Science PublicationsTransesterification of Palm Oil for the Production of Biodiesel
Biodiesel can be made either from vegetable oil (palm oil, coconut oil, castor oil, silk cotton seed oil, jathropa oil) or animal fat. Based on few criteria, palm oil ( Elais Guineensis ) is the most potential
Abstract. Current study presents RSM based optimized production of biodiesel from palm oil using chemical and enzymatic transesterification. The emission behavior of biodiesel and its blends,
Optimization of biodiesel production by transesterification
The aim of the project is to make biodiesel from palm oil by Transesterification reaction. The acid value of palm oil was found to be 0.957 which enabled direct alkaline transesterification.
The addition of co-solvents like CO 2 should be investigated for supercritical biodiesel production from POME. Although POME is an inexpensive source to synthesize biodiesel,

- How to produce biodiesel from palm oil?
- Depletion of petroleum had captured much attention on producing biodiesel from the palm oil. Approach: The most concerning methods for the production of biodiesel were discussed, namely transesterification (alkali and acid), enzymetic approach and supercritical alcohol.
- What is the transesterification reaction yield for palm oil biodiesel?
- In relation to the biodiesel characterization, using the RMN H1 technique, it was possible to obtain the transesterification reaction yield of 79.50% for the 3:1 palm oil biodiesel. Through gas chromatography, it can be verified that the predominant fatty acids in the samples were palmitic and oleic acids.
- Does palm oil undergo direct alkaline transesterification to produce biodiesel?
- Where V is the Volume of KOH, N is the normality of KOH and W is the weight of palm oil used. The acid value for the palm oil used in this study was found as 0.957. Therefore palm oil is subjected to direct alkaline Transesterification to produce biodiesel. 3.2. Preparation of biodiesel
- Why is transesterification important in biodiesel production?
- Among the various biodiesel production processes from oils and fats, transesterification is the most appealing process because transesterification produces fuel that is highly compatible with the diesel engines that are currently in use. The transesterification process is designed to reduce the viscosity of fats and natural oils.
- What are the process conditions for biodiesel production transesterification?
- Process Conditions/Parameters for Biodiesel Production Transesterification reactions occur under various reaction process conditions, including reaction time, molar ratio of alcohol to oil, reaction temperature, and catalyst amount, all of which have a significant effect on biodiesel yield.
- Which catalyst is used in palm oil biodiesel production?
- Trakarnpruk et al. reported a high biodiesel yield by utilizing a K-loaded Mg-Al hydrotalcite catalyst in palm oil biodiesel production. The authors conducted the reaction with 7.0 wt.% catalyst and 30:1 MRMO at 100 °C for 7 h. A biodiesel yield of approximately 86.6% was obtained with these conditions.
