Response Surface Methodology in the Optimization of Biodiesel Production from Palm Kernel Oil and Cellobiose by Acid Catalysis in Non-solvent Medium
Abstract: Cellobiose, rich in hydroxyl (OH) functional groups was used in a solventless transesterification process with Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) to produce high-quality biodiesel and glycerol. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to examine the effect of reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, reaction time, and cellobiose: oil ratio to optimize the process parameters for highpurity and yield of consequent biodiesel. The process was an acid-catalyzed transesterification reacton of Palm Kernel Oil and …
