Abstract
The present work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Ca(OH)2 obtained from eggshells as a catalyst in the transesterification of first-generation oil compared to catalysts such as Na(OH) and Ca(OH)2.GR. The eggshells were subjected to thermal treatment in a muffle furnace with temperature intervals to reduce CaCO3 to CaO. Once the calcium oxide was obtained, it was mixed with distilled water, which evaporated over time due to the exothermic reaction of CaO conversion to produce Ca(OH)2. The results showed that Ca(OH)2.GR has greater efficacy than Ca(OH)2 obtained from eggshells, while Na(OH) proved superior to the other catalysts used in the study
期刊介绍:
Minerva is devoted to the study of ideas, traditions, cultures and institutions in science, higher education and research. It is concerned no less with history than with present practice, and with the local as well as the global. It speaks to the scholar, the teacher, the policy-maker and the administrator. It features articles, essay reviews and ''special'' issues on themes of topical importance. It represents no single school of thought, but welcomes diversity, within the rules of rational discourse. Its contributions are peer-reviewed. Its audience is world-wide.
