Abstract
A study was performed to identify the minor components causing the precipitate formation in palm oil based biodiesel (PO-B100) and to remove the components from PO-B100 by selective adsorption using an acid treated resin (H-resin). The adsorption capacity of the H-resin was measured under isothermal condition using batch adsorption experiments. The contents of glycerol, mono-, di-, and triglycerides in the obtained PO-B100 were acceptable according to ASTM D6584. The steryl glucosides (SGs) adsorption capacity of the H-resin was 128 mgSGs-gresin. To regenerate the adsorbent, the desorption of SGs using several organic solvents was also studied. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the CHISA 2012 - 20th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering and PRES 2012 - 15th Conference on Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction (Prague, Czech Republic 8/25-29/2012).
