Chinese Spicehush (Lindera communis) Seed Oil Catalyzed into Biodiesel by Enzymatic Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Chinese Spicehush (Lindera communis) is widely distributed in China. In this paper, the biodiesel production from Lindera communis seed oil by immobilized lipase Lipozyme TLIM and Novozym 435 was studied. The effects of reaction time, segmented addition of methanol, lipase loading, organic solvents and ultrasonic on the transesterification were compared. In addition, the stability of lipase was also studied. The results show that mixture of Lipozyme TLIM 3% and 1% Novozym435 not only improves the catalytic activity, but also reduces the cost of using the enzyme. The yield of methyl esters is 90.8% after reaction of 12 h.
