Abstract EN
Esterification considers the most important reaction in biodiesel production.
In this study, oleic acid was used as a suggested feedstock in order to study and simulate production of biodiesel.
The batch esterification reaction of oleic acid was carried out at various operating conditions; temperature from 40 to 70 °C, ethanol to oleic acid molar ratio from 3 / 1 and 6 / 1 and a reaction time up to 180 min. The catalyst used was prepared NaY zeolite, which is added to the reaction mixture as 2, 5 and 10 wt.% of oleic acid. The results show that the optimum conditions, gives 0.81 conversion of oleic acid, were 6 / 1 molar ratio of ethanol/oleic acid, 5 wt.
% NaY relative to initial oleic acid, 70 °C and 60 minutes.
The activation energy of the suggested model was 42692 J / mole for forward reaction and 17218 J / mole for backward reaction.
