Abstract

In this study, transesterification of glycerol which is the byproduct of biodiesel with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) to glycerol carbonate was investigated. Solid basic catalyst which is 35% KOH loaded to alumina was synthesized using the impregnation method. The effects of DMC/glycerol ratio and temperature (55-85°C) on glycerol carbonate yield were studied. The highest yield of glycerol carbonate of 92% was obtained by 3 h of reaction time at 85°C with a DMC/glycerol molar ratio of 2, and using 3 wt.% catalyst. Purity and chemical structure of obtained glycerol carbonate was confirmed by using 1H-NMR spectrometry

BİYODİZELİN YAN ÜRÜNÜ GLİSERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ İÇİN MALZEME TASARIMI

Abstract

Bu çalışmada reaksiyon girdisi olarak biyodizel yan ürünü gliserinin dimetil karbonat (DMC) ile transesterleşme reaksiyonu sonunda gliserin karbonata dönüşümü araştırıldı. %35 KOH içeren alümina destekli katı bazik katalizör emdirme yöntemi kullanılarak sentezlendi. Reaksiyonda DMC/gliserin oranı ve sıcaklığın (55-85°C) gliserin karbonat verimine etkileri çalışıldı. DMC/gliserin oranının 2/1, sıcaklığın 85°C olduğu, %3 katalizör miktarı ve 3 saat sonunda %92 gliserin karbonat verimi elde edildi. Elde edilen gliserin karbonatın saflığı ve kimyasal yapısı ¹H-NMR spektrometresi ile doğrulandı.  

Keywords
