Santi, D.; Triyono; Morin, J. V. published the artcile< The preparation of Merbau wood waste ash-based catalyst and its utilization for biodiesel production from low-grade palm oil>, SDS of cas: 112-63-0, the main research area is Merbau wood waste ash catalyst palm oil biodiesel production.
The Merbau wood waste ash-based catalyst was prepared via various calcination temperatures and was applied for biodiesel production from low-grade palm oil. The thermal investigations of calcination of Merbau wood were carried out at temperatures of 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900°C for 3 h. It was led to M700 as a catalyst based on the highest basicity as confirmed by the basicity test and x-ray diffraction anal. The M700 mass toward methanol volume ratio was performed at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% (w/v) on the application of conversion of LGPO into biodiesel. The products of biodiesel were prepared via reflux at temperature 80°C for 2 h and were characterized by GC-MS. The biodiesel product is predominantly Me palmitate. The ash-methanol ratio of 15% gives the optimum biodiesel fraction conversion (78.7% weight/weight). The optimum selectivity of the yield total of biodiesel given by 10%, namely 48.9% weight/weight, resulted in Me ester (biodiesel) with C15-C19 consisting of Me myristate, Me palmitate, Me linoleate, Me oleic, Me stearate. Moreover, a 10% weight catalyst to methanol showed the optimum decrease of FFA (89.0 ± 0.6%).
