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
