BIODIESEL DARI MINYAK JELANTAH MENGGUNAKAN KATALIS BASA HETEROGEN BERBAHAN DASAR ABU TANDAN KOSONG KELAPA SAWIT (ATKKS)
Abstract: Currently Indonesia
is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels as an energy source. To reduce
dependence on oil and meet global enviromental requirements, one way is with
the development of enviromentally friendly fuel that is and alternative energy
derived from plant oil called biodiesel. This study uses a Completely
Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments, S1 (Reaction transesterification
1 hour), S2 (transesterification 2 hours), S3 (transesterification 3 hours), S4
(transesterification 4 hours), and S5 (transesterification 5 hours) with three
replications. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, continued by DNMRT at 5 %
level. The results showed that the transesterification reaction time
significantly (P<0.05) viscosity, water content, levels of methyl ester. But
did not significantly affect (P>0.05) on influenced the acid number, total
glycerol, flash point, saponfication. The analysis has been carried obtained
the best treatment is S5 with the results said saponfication (103.52 mg KOH/g),
the acid value (1.29 mg KOH/g), total glycerol (0.19 %), viscosity (2.21 cSt),
water content (0.02 %), flash point (115°C ), and the level of methyl ester
(99.32 %).
