Sintesis Biodiesel Dari Minyak Nyamplung Menggunakan Katalis Geopolimer: Pengaruh Suhu Reaksi Transesterifikasi Dan Rasio Mol Minyak Terhadap Metanol
Petroleum still serves as a major national energy and fuel resource. Petroleum reserves in Indonesia are increasingly depleted, requiring the use of alternative energy that is environmentally friendly and renewable like biodiesel. Process of making biodiesel so far using a homogeneous catalyst NaOH or KOH which has a weakness of the formation of soap products and the complexity of separation of biodiesel products with a catalyst. Therefore, the use of heterogeneous catalysts was developed, in which biodiesel was made from nyamplung oil using geopolymer catalyst. Geopolymer catalyst is first synthesized by reacting sodium silicate, metakaolin, NaOH, and water. Several variations of process variables are performed to assess their effect on yield of biodiesel. The variables used are oil mol ratio: 1: 6 methanol, 1: 9, 1:12 and temperature variation 55, 60, 65oC. The relationship between the yields obtained with the applied variable is the higher the mole ratio of oil and methanol, the higher yield yield and the Yield ridge temperature variables increase at an increase in temperature from 55oC to 60oC but at 65oC the yield is decreased. The highest biodiesel yields were 93.58% at the mole oil ratio: 1:12 methanol and 60°C reaction temperature. The resulting biodiesel characteristics are density 871 kg / m3, kinematic viscosity 4,38 mm2 / s, acid number 0,41 mg-KOH / g biodiesel and flash point 140 ° C have fulfilled Indonesian biodiesel standard (SNI 7182: 2015).
