Acetylation of Pomelo Peel for the Production of Oil Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pomelo peel was esterified with acetic anhydride using 4-dimethyl-amino pyridine as a catalyst under reaction temperature of 60 °C and duration of 3 h. At 0.1 g 4-dimethyl-amino pyridine of the catalyst in 80 ml acetic anhydride, the highest sorption values of 14.95 g/g diesel and 18.39 g/g lubricating oil were achieved, which was found to be much higher than raw pomelo peel. FTIR and SEM studies produced evidence for acetylation. The sorption kinetics and reusability were studied. The kinetic studies show good correlation coefficients for a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. This work demonstrated that pomelo peel modified by acetic anhydride is an efficient and environment-friendly biosorbent for the removal of spilled oil.
