Biodiesel ? uma alternativa renov?vel, o qual pode ser produzido a partir de ?leos residuais, gorduras animais e ?leos vegetais atrav?s do processo de transesterifica??o heterog?nea utilizando ?lcoois. Nesse contexto, catalisadores heterog?neos t?m se apresentado como potencial na produ??o de biodiesel em raz?o da possibilidade do seu reuso e por ser um processo mais limpo e eficiente. No presente trabalho, carv?o ativado obtido da pir?lise do lodo de esgoto (C.A), Mo2C, Mo2C/C.A e Ni (20%)-Mo2C/C.A foram avaliados no processo de transesterifica??o met?lica do ?leo de soja refinado visando ? produ??o de biodiesel. O carv?o do lodo foi tratado com o KOH no sentido de abrir os poros e promover maior ?rea especifica de contato, seguido de ativa??o f?sica. Os catalisadores a base de molibd?nio foram sintetizados a partir da rea??o g?s-s?lido utilizando como precursor heptamolibdato de am?nio e uma mistura de CH4/H2. Todos os materiais foram caracterizados utilizando as an?lises de TG, DRX, FRX, MEV, B.E.T e granulometria a laser. O processo de transesterifica??o foi avaliado em um reator de mistura constitu?do de um sistema de aquecimento e refluxo da fase alco?lica. Em temperatura constante de 65 oC, as condi??es operacionais estudadas para a rea??o foram: a natureza e concentra??o m?ssica (1 a 5%) do catalisador em rela??o ? massa do ?leo, a raz?o molar ?leo/?lcool (1/6 a 1/18), o pH do meio reacional (2,0 a 8,5), o tempo de rea??o (3 e 5 h) e a velocidade de agita??o da fase l?quida (450 e 600 rpm). Para todas as condi??es e demais catalisadores, o biodiesel foi produzido. A convers?o m?xima do ?leo de soja encontrada foi de 27,34%, no estudo cin?tico, para o catalisador Mo2C/C.A nas condi??es operacionais de 1% de catalisador, 6 h de rea??o, raz?o molar ?leo/?lcool de 1/12 e pH = 5. Na an?lise de caracteriza??o de uma amostra de biodiesel produzido o ponto de fulgor apresentou valor de 141 ?C, o qual est? acima do m?nimo especificado pela ANP. Um modelo cin?tico pseudo homog?neo foi utilizado, para o catalisador Mo2C/C.A atrav?s do qual foi mostrado que os resultados experimentais se ajustaram satisfatoriamente a uma cin?tica de 1? ordem, cuja constante cin?tica de velocidade teve como valor 0,0009 min-1. === For decades, the production of environment-friendly fuels, as alternative power sources for oil, has gained attention and interest of researchers worldwide. Biodiesel is a renewable alternative fuel that can be obtained from residual oils, animal fat and vegetable oils through heterogeneous transesterification reaction using alcohol. In this context, heterogeneous catalyst present potential for biodiesel production as they can be regenerated and provide a cleaner and more efficient process. In this work, several molybdenum carbide catalysts were tested for the transesterification reaction of soybean oil with methanol towards producing biodiesel. These catalysts were pure Mo2C, Mo2C supported over activated carbon (A.C), pure A.C and bimetallic Ni (20%)-Mo2C/A.C being this support produced from sewage sludge pyrolysis. The pyrolysis product was treated with KOH, in order to increase its porosity and promote a larger specific surface area, and later physically activated. Gas solid reaction with CH4 and H2 atmosphere was used to produce the studied molybdenum derived catalysts, and ammonium molybdate was used as molybdenum source in all cases. All catalysts were characterized in a TG, XDR, XFR, SEM, B.E.T and laser particle size analysis basis. Their activity towards transesterification reaction was evaluated by using a mixing reactor with temperature control and alcohol reflux at 65 ?C. The parameters that were manipulated for this experimental evaluation were: type and mass concentration of the catalyst (1 to 5%), oil/alcohol ratio (1/6 to 1/18), pH (2.0 to 8.5), reaction time (3 and 5h) and liquid phase agitation speed (450 and 600 rpm). For all conditions and other catalysts, biodiesel was produced. The maximum conversion found was 27.34% for the Mo2C/A.C catalyst under the operating conditions of 1% catalyst, 6 h reaction, oil/alcohol ration of 1/12 and pH = 5. In the characterization analysis of a sample of biodiesel produced the flash point presented a value of 141 ?C, which is above the minimum specified by the ANP. A pseudo homogeneous kinetics model was used, and experimental data presented agreement with a 1st order reaction with speed rate constant of 0,0009 min-1.
