Abstract

Biodiesel is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative fuel that can be produced from vegetable oils such as Crude Palm Oil (CPO). This study aims to evaluate the effect of varying the mass of immobilized lipase enzyme (12–16 grams) and the molar ratio of CPO to methanol (1:4 and 1:6) on the quality of biodiesel produced through a transesterification process using a Packed Bed Reactor. The process stages include degumming, neutralization, and transesterification at a reaction temperature of 40°C for 6 hours. Immobilized lipase was chosen as the biocatalyst due to its ability to operate under mild conditions and produce high-quality biodiesel without generating harmful waste. The best result was achieved at a 1:4 molar ratio and 15 grams of enzyme, producing biodiesel with a density of 875.67 g/cm³, viscosity of 3.97 mm²/s, saponification value of 177.65 mg KOH/g, acid value of 0.32 mg KOH/g, iodine value of 48.05 g I₂/100 g, cetane number of 66.21, yield of 90.20%, and methyl ester content of 97.31%. All parameters met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7182:2015).

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize glycerol stearate from palm oil industrial products and test its effectiveness as a corrosion inhibitor on aluminum metal. The synthesis was carried out through an esterification reaction between glycerol and stearic acid using a sulfuric acid catalyst at a temperature of 120°C with a reaction time variation of 120–220 minutes. The synthesized products were characterized using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) methods. The inhibitor effectiveness test was carried out using a gravimetric method based on the ASTM G31-21 standard in 1 M HCl solution. The results showed an optimum reaction time of 180 minutes with a yield of glycerol monostearate of 16.36%. TLC showed the highest Rf value close to the glycerol monostearate standard, while GC-MS detected the main compounds in the form of glycerol monopalmitate and glycerol monostearate. Effectiveness testing showed that the coating method produced an inhibition efficiency of 76.89%, higher than the direct mixing method of 73.69%. These results indicate that glycerol stearate has the potential to be an effective and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor based on biodiesel waste.
