Reactive extraction of solid coconut waste to produce biodiesel
Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel produced using transesterification method where edible or non edible oil and alcohol reacts in the presence of catalyst. Biodiesel is expensive than fossil fuels because of higher raw material and production costs. Solid coconut waste is an alternative raw m...

| description | Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel produced using transesterification method where edible or non
edible oil and alcohol reacts in the presence of catalyst. Biodiesel is expensive than fossil fuels because of
higher raw material and production costs. Solid coconut waste is an alternative raw material from waste
and suitable for biodiesel production to lower the production cost. Solid coconut waste is produced after
coconut milk extraction and may still contain 17–24 wt% extractable oil content. This study introduces
reactive extraction of solid coconut waste for biodiesel production. Effects of catalyst amount, KOH (0.8–
2.0%), temperature (55–65 8C) and mixing intensity (500–900 rpm) were studied to optimize the
reactive extraction. Based on the Response Surface Methodology (RSM), the optimum condition was
found to be 2.0 wt% of KOH catalyst, 700 rpm of mixing intensity and reaction temperature, 62 8C where
resulted in 88.5% of biodiesel yield. |
