Ghani, Naila published the artcileA Facile Approach for the Synthesis of SrTiO3/g-C3N4 Photo-catalyst and its Efficacy in Biodiesel Production, Name: Methyl decanoate, the main research area is biodiesel production strontium titanate graphitic carbon nitride photocatalyst.
Visible light active photocatalysts have attracted a lot of interest due to their simple chem. workup and recyclability. In this study, the role of Strontium Titanate/graphitic Carbon Nitride composite (SrTiO3/g-C3N4) was investigated for the pretreatment of waste frying oil (WFO) to reduce high free fatty acids (FFAs) for biodiesel production SrTiO3/g-C3N4 photo-catalyst was synthesized through the facile refluxing method and its activity was also compared with simple graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). Exptl. results revealed that SrTiO3/g-C3N4 possesses higher efficiency as compared to g-C3N4. Photo-catalyst was characterized through SEM-EDX, XRD and FT-IR. Maximum conversion of FFAs (85%) was achieved at 1% catalyst dose, 800 rpm stirring speed, 3 : 1 methanol to oil ratio, and 4 h of reaction time. Esterified WFO was converted to waste frying oil Me esters (WFOME) by using CaO-KOH heterogeneous catalyst. The maximum yield of WFOME was obtained at 1.25% catalyst dose, 65 °C, 600 rpm, 2 h of reaction time, and 12 : 1 methanol to oil ratio. Physicochem. anal. of WFOME revealed that it is in accord with ASTM standards
