| Abstract | Biodiesel production from waste palm oil catalyzed by hierarchicalZSM-5 supported calcium oxide was studied. The acid value, density and kinematic viscosity of palm oil increased after used in frying in which the waste palm oil was mainly composed of palmitic acid (35.22%), oleic acid (41.92%), linoleic acid (13.58%) and stearic acid (5.11%). Waste palm oil showed a high potential as a feedstock in biodiesel production in which there was no significant different in the conversion of fresh and waste palm oil. In the case of catalyst, it was found that the activity of CaO catalyst increased after supported on hierarchicalZSM-5. h-ZSM-5could enhance the activity of CaO resulting the increase in conversion from 93.17% to 95.40%. A maximum conversion of 95.40%was obtained at the reaction time of 6 h, the catalyst amount of 3 wt.%, the methanol to oil molar ratio of 12:1 and the reaction temperature of 65 °C. The properties of produced biodiesel required the limits of biodiesel specification according to ASTM D6751-08and EN 14214with the methyl ester content of 97.18%, the acid value of 0.24mg KOH/g, the kinematic viscosity of 4.64cSt and the density of 869.9kg/m3. |
