Component confirmation and process of biodiesel produced in supercritical conditions with addition of tiny KOH
Production of biodiesel without byproduct glycerol using tiny KOH as catalyst from dimethyl carbonate and palm oil in supercritical conditions was carried out.The catalyst tiny KOH increased reaction rates while less severe supercritical reaction conditions could be employed.All components of reaction product were confirmed by GC and GC-MS analysis.Effects of temperature
time
mass ratio of KOH to palm oil and mole ratio of DMC to palm oil on transesterification reaction were investigated.The optimal conditions of transesterification are temperature 280℃
