- BIODIESEL FROM WASTE COOKING OIL: SODIUM CARBONATE MODIFIED SAND AS FILTER, TLC AND THE UNMODIFIED DOMESTIC MICROWAVE OVEN APPROA Sandro L. Barbosa Savio E. O. Miranda Bruna K. Barbosa Myrlene Ottone Stanlei I. Klein Adriano C. M. Baron Gabriela R. Hurtado Química Biodiesel microwaves silica gel waste cooking o il Biodiesel is obtained by transesterification of animal and vegetable triglycerides (fats), and have several advantages over fossil fuel, perhaps the most important being its renewable source and its lack of pollutants s uch as aromatic and sulfur components. However, biodiesel from vegetable sources such as Soya beans is expensive, and it raises the question of planting for combustibles not for food. The most interesting alternative source for biodiesel is the non expensi ve waste cooking oil, WCO, which also brings the obvious benefit of transforming a severe pollutant into a green combustible. WCO consists of the triglycerides, but also contains left over food solids, which must be removed by filtration, mono and diglycer ides, which are the source of the WCO free fatty acids (FFA), which must be converted to esters before the transesterification of the triglycerides, or, as usually reported, saponification of the final biodiesel mixture will occur. Several methods have bee n devised to deal with these drawbacks, and generally involve expensive equipment in multistage processes, which include filtration, acid catalysis for the esterification of free fatty acids, removal of the acid catalyst, a base catalyzed transesterificati on reaction, and, finally, the separation of the glycerol by product and purification of the biodiesel. Herein we propose a new sifiltering system, which in one step removes both solids and free fatty acid contents of WCO. In this new approach for biodiesel, an unmodified household microwave oven is used to speed up the base catalyzed transesterification reaction, and a useful piece of advice is given for the easy follow up of the reaction progress by thin layer chromatography. 2014 artículo científico 0100-4670 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42955127010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=429 Eclética Química application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho Eclética Química (Brasil) Vol.39
