Comparative study of biodiesel production from ethanol and babassu oil using mechanical agitation and ultrasounds
2011
The Renewable Energies and Power Quality Journal (RE&PQJ)
Babassu oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the babassu palm (Attalea speciosa), which grows in most areas of South America. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of ethanol; the advantages of this alcohol are concerned to its renewable origin and low toxicity. In this work ethyl esters of babassu oil were synthesized by alkaline catalysis in homogeneous medium. The experimental design was used as a tool for optimization of the transesterification reaction and also in
