This compound is a white solid that melts to produce a colorless liquid that can be distilled. This factory is planned to operate for 330 days per year and work continuously 24 hours/day with a capacit…
ABSTRACT Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde compound with the chemical formula CH3CHO or known as Methyl-CHO (MeCHO) is an intermediate in the manufacture of other organic chemical compounds, for example: acetic acid, acetic anhydride, ethyl acetate, n-butyl alcohol and so on. This design aims to meet domestic acetaldehyde needs, reduce acetaldehyde imports, open new jobs, and encourage the establish…
ABSTRACT Biodiesel is an alternative energy that can replace diesel fuel. The process of making biodiesel in the triglyceride transesterification reaction produces a byproduct called glycerol, which is approximately 10% of the amount of biodiesel produced. Currently, glycerol has not been processed much so it still has a low selling value. Therefore, glycerol processing is necessary in order t…
