Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, biodiesel has been successfully prepared from Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed kernel by SO4 2-/SnO2-Hangjin2#clay as catalyst. Based on the Central Composite Design method, the effect of the various parameters influencing the biodiesel process have been studied and optimized. The maximum yield of biodiesel (90.67%w/w) can be obtained when the mass fraction of the catalyst is 0.7%, the mass ratio of methanol to oil is 4:1 V/m, the methanol content in the oil is 12%, and the reaction temperature achieves 81°C。Besides, the consequence of Infrared spectroscopy and Gas chromatography can assure the production of biodiesel from the xanthoceras sorbifolia bunge oil. Based on these results, it can be concluded that Xanthoceras sorbifolia bunge seed oil is an acceptable non-edible feedstock for biodiesel production.
