Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil Using Anion-Exchange Resin as Both Catalyst and Adsorbent

A novel production process of biodiesel fuel was developed using an expanded-bed reactor packed with an anion-exchange resin having catalytic and adsorption abilities. Waste cooking oil was used as a cheaper feedstock, and methanol was added at the stoichiometric molar ratio of 3:1. The main constituent of the feedstock, triglyceride was completely converted to the biodiesel by the resin??s catalytic ability. The impurities of the feedstock, free fatty acid, water, and dark brown pigment were removed from the product by the adsorption on the resin. In addition, the by-product glycerin was also removed from the product by the adsorption on the resin. The product eluted from the reactor was directly used for the standard tests of the biodiesel properties. The eluted product almost met the biodiesel quality standards (EN14214 in Europe and ASTM D6751 in North America). Thus, the proposed system permitted the simple production of biodiesel from the waste cooking oil without the upstream processing to remove the impurities (free fatty acid and water) and the downstream processing to remove the catalyst and by-products (glycerin and soap).     

Optimization of a Novel Two-step Process Comprising Re-esterification and Transesterification in a Single Reactor for Biodiesel Production Using Waste Cooking Oil

Waste cooking oil (WCO) has attracted attention as a non-edible feedstock for biodiesel. Although an alkali catalyst has several advantages over an acid catalyst in biodiesel production, biodiesel conversion from WCO is only 5.2% when using an alkali catalyst (NaOH), owing to its high free fatty acid (FFA) content of 4.2%. In this study, a novel two-step process in a single reactor, comprised of re-esterification of the FFAs with crude glycerol, using a Tin (II) chloride (SnCl₂) catalyst, and subsequent transesterification with methanol, using an alkali catalyst, was adopted, and each step was optimized. This study revealed that the FFA content after re-esterification should be approximately 1.5%, not only to save glycerol and the catalyst involved in the re-esterification, but also to achieve high biodiesel conversion during the transesterification. An alkaline catalyst was successfully used to produce biodiesel in the second step, and a 92.8% conversion to biodiesel was achieved under the optimized conditions (0.6% catalyst relative to WCO, 0.2mL-methanol/WCO, 70ºC, 3 h). Overall, this novel two-step process achieved highly enhanced biodiesel conversion (4.0% to 92.8%) with significantly reduced reaction time (12 h to 4 h) and methanol requirements (15 mL/g-WCO to 0.2 mL/g-WCO).
