Synthesis of heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production from cooking oil
Sadia Nasreen
University of Engineering and Technology Taxila, Pakistan
Biodiesel, a promising alternative diesel fuel produced by a catalytic transesterification of vegetable oils, has becomemore attractive
nowadays, because of its environmental concerns and the fact that it is made from renewable resources. In this work, the trans-
esterification of soybean oil with methanol has been studied in a heterogeneous system, using Zn, Mn, K and Ce supported by a
mixture of porcelain, cinder and ceramic. 0.5 and 1 mm of Zn, Mn, K and Ce in 7 g of support were loaded, followed by calcinations
at 600°C for 4h. Fresh and used catalyst were characterized by means of various spectroscopic techniques such as scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and TG conversion was checked by HPLC. It has been observed that 1M ZnCO3 loaded in the support gives 93%
TG conversion
