Orthogonal Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Ionic Liquid Transesterification of Corn Oil Biodiesel

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to optimize the ultrasound-assisted corn oil biodiesel transesterification process conditions, factors four through five levels of orthogonal test to optimize their processes, the findings indicate that ultrasound-assisted transesterification of corn oil biodiesel optimum conditions : 1:11 molar ratio of methanol to oil, corn oil catalyst was 11%, the reaction temperature is 90 °C, reaction time was 50min, ultrasonic power 360W, under these conditions, the measured ratio of the average of the transesterification 91.85 %. Relative to conventional preparation methods, the method is simple, rapid, saving solvent consumption and other advantages.
