ABSTRACT
The transesterification of
Thevetia
peruviana seed oil with dimethyl carbonate (DMC)
for preparing biodiesel has been studied using as an active catalyst
potassium-methoxide (KOCH3). The effects of reaction conditions:
Molar
ratio of dimethyl carbonate to Thevetia peruviana seed
oil, catalyst concentration, reaction time and agitation speed
on dimethyl esters (DMC-Tp-BioDs) yield were investigated. The highest DMC-Tp-BioDs
yield could reach 97.1% at refluxing temperature for 90 min with
molar ratio of DMC-to-oil
5:1 and 2.0% w/w KOCH3 (based on oil weight). The fuel properties
of the produced DMC-Tp-BioDs were compared with the ASTM
D6751-02 biodiesel standard.
Keywords: Biodiesel; dimethyl
carbonate; oil extraction; optimization conditions; potassium
methoxide; Thevetia peruviana seed oil
