Abstract

Green solvent, an environmentally friendly solvent in form of subcritical water (SBCW) and pressurized CO2, has been used as media in process intensification. It has characteristic of having low or even zero toxicity. Hence it can simplify purification procedure. In this communication, development of technology applications of those green solvents, i.e. extraction, particle synthesis, and reaction engineering, is briefly presented. In general, studies show a positive utilization of green solvents of subcritical water and pressurized CO2. For example, in pectin extraction, yield up to 90% has been obtained when the combined solvent was used. In another application, hydrolysis using SBCW-CO2 as combined solvent has facilitated 100% conversion of pinene.

Abstract

Biodiesel development as a renewable energy source continues to advance, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Biodiesel is produced through esterification and transesterification reactions, aided by a catalyst, to increase the reaction rate. One of the main challenges in biodiesel production is selecting a catalyst that is highly active, stable, and easily separated from the product. Heterogeneous catalysts based on calcium oxide (CaO) are a promising alternative, especially when modified to enhance their catalytic performance. CaO has the weakness that it easily reacts with moist air to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂). This process can decrease the catalytic activity of CaO. This research aims to determine the energy required for the transesterification reaction using a KOH-modified CaO catalyst in a batch process. A KOH-modified CaO catalyst was synthesized by calcining chicken eggshells and impregnating them with KOH. It was then used to produce biodiesel from tamanu oil through transesterification in a batch reactor. Characterization of the catalyst using the basicity test method showed a basicity value of 2.98 mmol/g benzoic acid, and using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, obtained a surface area of 0.273 m²/g. The transesterification process was carried out at a mole ratio of oil to methanol of 1:3 at various temperatures of 55–75 °C and reaction times of 90, 120, and 150 minutes. The biodiesel produced was analyzed for free fatty acid (FFA) content, density, kinematic viscosity, yield, and reaction kinetics. The results showed that the optimum conditions were achieved at 65 °C and a reaction time of 120 minutes, yielding a biodiesel yield of 71.4%, and all quality parameters met the SNI 7182:2015 standard. Kinetic analysis showed that the transesterification reaction followed a zero-order kinetic model with an activation energy of 129.72 J/mol, indicating that the modified CaO catalyst effectively reduces the reaction energy barrier.
