Methyl Ester Production from Rice Bran Oil and Methanol with Calcium Carbonate Catalysts Using Esterification Method
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 08
Abstract
Rice bran oil is a type of oil with high nutritional value from rice bran. However, the free fatty acid content in it can increase by more than 60% with sufficient storage time. Free fatty acids contained in rice bran have the potential to be produced into biodiesel (methyl ester). This research aimed to determine the effect of methanol volume and esterification process time on biodiesel yield and to compare methyl ester yield to standard biodiesel. This research was conducted in two stages, namely rice bran oil extraction and esterification. In the extraction stage, rice bran was extracted with n-hexane for 3 hours at an operating temperature of 65oC. The esterification process was carried out by mixing rice bran oil, methanol with a certain volume (100, 125, 150, 175, 200 mL), and calcium carbonate catalyst as much as 1% of the amount of methanol. Esterification was carried out with time variations of 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5 and 3 hours. The results in the form of rice bran oil were analyzed for the value of the biodiesel yield. The result of rice bran oil was analyzed for initial free fatty acid value. Pure biodiesel product in the form of methyl ester was obtained through separation with glycerol as a by-product. The optimum methyl ester yield was 81.70% at 175 ml methanol volume for 3 hours. The methyl ester results are in accordance with SNI biodiesel for density and kinematic viscosity values.
