Summary: | 碩士 === 國立宜蘭大學 === 化學工程與材料工程學系碩士班 === 101 === The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of employing different Fenton systems, such as Fenton, Fenton/Ultraviolet, Fenton/ Ozone and Fenton/ Ultraviolet and Ozone in the transesterification reaction of soybean oil for the biodiesel production. The investigated parameters include, FeCl2 concentration and reaction time, and in the different Fenton systems. The composition of the products is determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometer (GC-MS). This study also analyzed the physicochemical properties of the products, including acid value, iodine value, kinematic viscosity, and heating value.
The experimental results showed that the optimal yield of fatty acid methyl ester was 431ppm by the Fenton/UV+O3 process in 150 minute of reaction time. The acid value from Fenton process is lower than alkaline catalyst process. The iodine value is the lowest from Fenton process. The alkaline catalyst process has lower kinematic viscosity than Fenton process. The heating value from Fenton process is higher than soybean oil.
