Abstract

Karanja oil methyl ester was synthesized by the transesterification of karanja oil with methanol using potassium hydroxide as catalyst. The reaction was carried out at 55°C for 1 hour. The reactants were continuously stirred with speed ranging from 250-650 rpm. The acid value of oil was found to be 18.62 mg KOH/g of oil. Influence of parameters like water content (%), oil flow rate (ml/min) and effect of stirring speed (rpm) were investigated by varying these parameters in 5 levels and a design for performing the experiments was developed using Minitab and Design-Expert. An approach has been made to study the pressure and velocity changes when the reactants flow through the inlet and outlet pipes. Glycerol being insoluble remained in the reactor and the conversion was found by testing the ester using Gas Chromatography and also by analyzing the acidity of the samples.

碱催化茉莉油酯交换反应的研究。

以甘露油为原料，以氢氧化钾为催化剂，与甲醇进行酯交换反应，合成甘露油甲酯。反应在55℃下进行1小时。反应物以250-650 rpm的转速连续搅拌。油的酸值为18.62 mg KOH/g油。通过对5个参数的变化，研究了含水量(%)、油流量(ml/min)和搅拌速度(rpm)等参数的影响，并利用Minitab和design - expert开发了实验设计。本文研究了反应物在进、出口管道中流动时压力和速度的变化。不溶的甘油留在反应器中，通过气相色谱法测试酯和分析样品的酸度发现了转化。版权所有©2011国际能源与环境基金会

期刊介绍： International Journal of Energy, Environment, and Economics publishes original research papers that shed light on the interaction between the utilization of energy and the environment, as well as the economic aspects involved with this utilization. The Journal is a vehicle for an international exchange and dissemination of ideas in the multidisciplinary field of energy-environment-economics between research scientists, engineers, economists, policy makers, and others concerned about these issues. The emphasis will be placed on original work, either in the area of scientific or engineering development, or in the area of technological, environmental, economic, or social feasibility. Shorter communications are also invited. The Journal will carry reviews on important issues, which may be invited by the Editors or submitted in the normal way.
