Cow's Fat Processing To Biodiesel By NaOH As Catalyst In Methanol
Pengolahan Lemak Sapi Menjadi Biodisel Dengan Katalis NaOH Dalam Metanol
Abstract
The research about biodiesel produced from cow's fat using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as catalyst has been done. Biodiesel produced from cow's fat was done through transesterification process using methanol 1:12 which priory react with 0.3% NaOH as catalyst due to oil and methanol weight. The transesterification process was conducted for 5 hours at 65°C. Biodiesel from cow's fat is characterisized by GC-MS and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) method. Methyl ester which produced from cow's Fat fat are 31.67% of stearic acid, 25.67% of palmitate acid, and 22.68% of oleate acid. Biodisel from cow's fat are qualified as diesel fuel and biodiesel characterisized by ASTM for specific density (0.8705 kg/m3), kinematic viscosity (4,481 mm2/s), flash point (176,5 0C), pour point (21 0C), and Conradson's carbon residu (0.0139% wt).
