Abstract

The relatively high content of free fatty acids in crude palm oil inhibits the direct synthesis of biodiesel. The use of a bifunctional solid heterogeneous catalyst allows for simultaneous transesterification-esterification reactions and facilitates the purification of the final product from the reaction mixture. This study aimed to synthesize biodiesel from crude palm oil via the use of a Sn-K/metakaolinite catalyst in a simultaneous transesterification-esterification reaction. Biodiesel synthesis was carried out using crude palm oil before and after pretreatment. The optimum conditions were determined by the reaction time (1–5 hours), reactant molar ratio (1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8, 1:10, 1:12), and catalyst concentration (1,3, 5,7 and 9%), and the resulting methyl esters were measured for density, viscosity, and free fatty acids and analyzed via GC‒MS. The results obtained indicate that biodiesel synthesis was successfully carried out with completely converted methyl esters via treated crude palm oil. The optimum conditions for the reaction included a reaction time of 3 hours, a catalyst concentration of 5% and a reactant molar ratio of 1:10. The resulting methyl ester product has a density of 0.86 g/mL, a viscosity of 3.02 cSt and a free fatty acid content of 0.059%. The results of the GC‒MS analysis revealed that the dominant methyl ester components were methyl oleate and methyl palmitate. The synthesis of biodiesel from crude palm oil with a Sn-K/metakaolinite catalyst has been proven to be carried out in simultaneous transesterification-esterification reactions with good catalytic activity.

Abstract

Pasokan air gambut ke Sungai Kapuas dan Sungai Landak dapat berimplikasi signifikan terhadap kualitas air baku seperti kekeruhan, warna dan pH air yang tidak memenuhi standar. PDAM Khatulistiwa Pontianak memanfaatkan air Sungai Kapuas dan Sungai Landak sebagai air baku sehingga menyebabkan kualitas air yang dihasilkan seperti nilai warna sebesar 315-790 TCU, kekeruhan 34-86 NTU dan pH 6,09 -6,45 tidak memenuhi standar PERMENKES No.492/MENKES/X/2010. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menurunkan nilai kekeruhan, warna dan pH dari air baku PDAM Pontianak menggunakan metakaolin. Metakaolin tersusun oleh silika sebesar 56,405% dan alumina sebesar 31,569%. Hasil analisis GSA menunjukkan bahwa metakaolin memiliki luas permukaan sebesar 22,38 m2/g; total volume pori sebesar 0,079 cm3/g dan ukuran rata-rata pori sebesar 7,12 nm, dan ketika telah jenuh digunakan luas permukaan kaolin akan berubah menjadi 34,56 m2/g; total volume pori sebesar 0,090 cm3/g dan ukuran rata-rata pori sebesar 5,24 nm. Metakaolin dapat menghilangkan warna air gambut dengan penggunaan metakaolin sebesar 0,090g dan hasil warna air 1 TCU, turbidity 0,6 NTU dan pH 4-5, serta penggunaan metakaolin pada sistem kontinu dengan debit air 1 liter/90 detik dengan waktu kontak 1 menit efektif digunakan hingga 24 jam dalam meningkatkan kualitas air PDAM hingga memenuhi baku mutu.
