Preparation and application of sulfonated carbon catalyst for biodiesel production from waste cooking oil and furfural production from xylose
Abstract:
This research investigated the preparation and utilization of carbon solid acid catalyst (CM-SO3H) in both biodiesel production from waste cooking oil and furfural production from xylose. The carbon solid acid catalyst was prepared by sequential xylose hydrothermal carbonization and sulfonation. The CM-SO3H catalyst was characterized the physicochemical properties and morphology by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), BrunauerEmmett-Teller (BET) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The acid capacity of CM-SO3H catalyst was determined by both titration with 0.1N sodium hydroxide and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). The surface area and acidity of the catalyst were 86 m2/g and 1.38 mmol/g, respectively. The different experimental parameters were studied including catalyst loading (wt.%), reaction time (h), reaction temperature (oC) and molar ratio of feedstock. The optimized condition of biodiesel production was 110oC for 2 h to obtain 89.6% yield. Whereas the optimized reaction condition of xylose dehydration was 155oC for 2h. From this study, this catalyst was not only approach green chemistry concept as waste utilization, less chemical, safe and environmentally friendly but it also performed the good catalytic activity nearly conventional acid catalyst
