Process intensification for the production of canola-based methyl ester via ultrasonic batch reactor: Optimization and kinetic study

Canola oil is an attractive potential feedstock for biofuel production. Great attention has been paid to advanced ultrasonic technology, a potential means to markedly enhance the biodiesel production process through process intensification. In this study, an ultrasonic-assisted batch reactor was emp...

Yusup, S. Asif, S. Chuah, L.F. Michelle, L.Z.Y. Canola oil is an attractive potential feedstock for biofuel production. Great attention has been paid to advanced ultrasonic technology, a potential means to markedly enhance the biodiesel production process through process intensification. In this study, an ultrasonic-assisted batch reactor was employed to investigate the influence of four process parameters, that is, methanol-to-oil molar ratio, catalyst amount, reaction time, and amplitude of ultrasound toward the conversion of methyl esters. In the transesterification reaction for biodiesel production at 60°C, a 90wt. methyl ester conversion was achieved in 40min using a 3wt. KOH catalyst and a 6:1 methanol-to-oil molar ratio, which is considered to be remarkably fast compared to conventional methods.
